Hell

"**Hell**" is a place in many religions and mythologies where various horrifying and ruinous creatures live. Some also teach that it is a place where evildoers go to after they die.

## Variations of Hell

These are the locations where people believed that demons originated from:

* Chaos (various)
* Dankus, Dankus Tekan (Gauvajut)
* Vjormoz (Vozonid)
* Karataisa (Rinnarit)

### Equivalents of Hell

These are the locations where the wicked were believed to be tormented or destroyed after they die:

#### Human

* Nastrond (Nordic)
	+ This is a realm for those who break oaths, kill their own family members, or commit adultery.
	+ As it is the worst of afterlifes, Norse peoples use "Nastrond" as their equivalent for "Hell" as a curse-word.
	+ The Vetarbroitar depict Nastrond as the domain of the evil god Loki. In their art, Loki is depicted as a skeleton clad in dark armour, wreathed in hellfire and burning with a desire to destroy everything.
* Naraka (Hindu/Sandharmin)
	+ May consist of multiple realms.
* Niraya, Pretaloka, Naraka (Buddhist)
	+ May consist of multiple realms.
	+ As the worst and the deepest of the Niraya-hells, Avici is a realm of eternal fire and near-ceaseless torment.
* Diyu (Chinese/Daizhouvian)
* Kolase, Gehenna (Christian)
* Jahannam (Islamic)
* Duzakh, the House of Lies/Druj-Demana, Worst Adobe/Ahishta Ahu/Achista Ahu (Zoroastrian/Mazdajasni)
* Tartarus (Hellenic)

#### Other human

* Lorehaz (Zergonian)
	+ According to Zergonian belief, it is always March in Hell, as it is the opposite of September, the "eternity month". Therefore, Zergonian depictions of Hell portray a burning, screaming swamp with hideous flowers waiting to tear the wicked into pieces.
* Dankus Tekan (Gauvajut)
* Vjormoz (Vozonid)
	+ An endless pink void below the paradise of the good, below the Multiverse. It can be seen if someone goes across the edge of Paradise's flat surface, overhead as a pink sky beyond the "night".
* Pjeklo (Bujanski Slavic)
	+ The Bujanski Hell is depicted similarly to its Vozonid counterpart, as a pink void.
	+ According to Bujanski belief, Hell will last for nine trillion years, after which it will crumble into dust.
	+ Like its Vozonid counterpart, it is supposedly the birthplace of Terran souls made of every sin in existence. It is supposedly ruled by Veles, demonised to an evil god.
* Notluna (Wonao)
	+ In Wonao belief, Notluna lies at the north of the world, at the arctic continent. It is a wasteland of ice, snow, and volcanoes.

#### Others

* Noržika, Oiwonež, Nuskarik, Plittawan, Nörwe (Igarin)
	+ The five hells, which represent chaos, oblivion, destruction of souls, splitting of souls, and dissolution. Nörwe is the worst of the five.
* Ogaltons (Novantirna)
	+ A realm of great darkness.
* Zareplau, Zomukla (Kuelgon)
	+ Kuelgons believe that the strong go to Zareplau to become monsters, and the weak drown in the darkness of Zomukla.
* Geratönö (Heronoi)
	+ A realm of ice, snow, and vampire demons that live in faded castles and soul forges where they melt the condemned into their food and blood.
* Oidrō (Eimares)
	+ The howling void and its storms outside the universes.
* Ulundö (Tuxavin)
	+ An endless storm of pink and black currents scrambling in all directions. Every evil person and monster is fed to this horror after they die or are killed.

### General death-realms

Those are the locations where most dead people supposedly go in some beliefs, regardless of their beliefs or allegiance to good or evil:

* Yomi/Jomi (Japanese/Pinogunian)
* Hades, Asphodel Fields (Hellenic)
* Helheim (Nordic)
	+ In contrast to Nastrond, Helheim is a gloomy place where the dead go on feasts and talk to ancient people to keep themselves from being bored. It is where innocents and the peaceful go after they die. In one of those tables, the bright god Baldr sits at a high place surrounded by other heroes.
	+ For the Norse-influenced Vetarbroitar, they instead see it as the closest equivalent of Paradise.
	+ Do *not* confuse the various *hells* with the goddess Hel, who rules Helheim.
* Nav, Vyraj/Iriy (Slavonic)
* Dankuis Daganzipas (Hittite)
* Kur (Sumerian)
* Irkalla (Sumerian/Imdegab)

## Trivia

* "Hell" (and variations of it) is also a curse-word used by various people.
	+ In Denlotian times, "sending someone to Hell" is a phrase that simply means "to murder or kill someone for their crimes".
	+ The Terrans, humans summoned from dystopian dimensions, were known as the "Children of Hell" for their destructive behaviour and fanaticism.
* "Goi" is one of the strongest curse words in the Vozonid languages, because it means "to condemn someone to Hell".
	+ Examples of swear words from this include "pleku goi", "plykho goi" (%%%%ing hell) and "goitar" (Hell).
