Hell

**Hell**, also called **Hades**, **Tartarus**, **The Pit**, **The Underworld** or even **Perdition**, is the spiritual realm for punishment and pain of the afterlife, as well as a prison for some inhuman creatures.

## Appearence & Characteristics

Hell is a spiritual realm divided into 10 layers, the place where sinners are forced to confront their evil deeds in life.

Hell's landscape varies depending on the layers to suit the sins each layer atones for, but they all share the same pattern: It's on fire and the sky is dark. The lower in Hell, the greater the darkness that surrounds these layers, until reaching an abyss of darkness that leads to the 10th layer, which is reserved only for the most evil of beings.

There is no knowledge about the landscape of each layer, after all, although they have a general appearance, the way in which each one manifests itself and the experiences lived in them are very personal and vary greatly from individual to individual, although most of them maintain the consensus of which is extremely unpleasant and painful psychologically and physically.

Among all of them, the 10th layer is the most mysterious and dark of them, but it is said to be an environment with little or no vegetation, surrounded by endless darkness that surrounds the environment, here is the residence of high-ranking demons, the Devil himself, and the terrible Great Evil Beast. This layer is reserved for the darkest, most perverse, cruel and irredeemable souls that exist, where they are tormented for eternity. Here, is where Gamao Cave is located, known not only as the most darkest and deepst cave in Hell, but its place where is located the only portal in existence that gives acess to the Abyss.

Hell appears to have a day-night cycle, when its night, 2 species of inhuman creatures are realesed from their cages in the Abyss to torment the souls of Hell, having the 10th layer as their main target, these are the Hellhounds and the Shedim.

## History

### Background

After the Archangel Satanel's fall and corruption into the Devil, he joined Ayin, the pre-existential of chaos and evil and Ayin created the realm that would became Hell.

After Lucifer's rebellion and over a trillion angels falling and becaming demons, Hell became the antithesis of Heaven in every sense of the word. In Hell, Lucifer created the Hellhounds, Ayin created the Shedim and the Devil amongst other demons created the Hellspawn, bizarre and groutesce demon hybrids that would have being banished to the Trench later.

When the first sencient souls forged by the Well of All Souls started to encarnate in the Universe, Hell was appointed by Elohim as the realm where the evil ones would came after death to atone their sins. At Elohim's request, the Devil splited Hell in 10 layers, reserving the last one as the official residence of the high ranking of Hell and to the most evil and irredeemable of the souls, the other 9 layers would be reserved for atoning and purging sins before reencarnation.

## Access and Location

The easiest way to access Hell is through death, where if your sins outnumber your virtues and good deeds, you will be sent to Hell. However, there are other ways to access Hell without dying.

One of these ways is through other dimensions and realms, such as Limbo, Limbo has a passage that leads straight to Hell, however it is closed and can only be crossed in the presence of a divine or angelic being, on the Physical Plane itself there are several physical portals to Hell scattered throughout the universes, but most cannot be traversed, although it is possible to have some experience of Hell.

Another way is through the Hellhounds, since when a contract with a demon expires, a Hellhound comes from Hell to get your soul and take it there, or the demon that made the contract can come and get you.

## Hierarchy

Hell's hierarchy is organized in in the loyalty that these angels had to Lucifer during the rebellion that led to their fall and their original rank in Heaven:

1. Ayin
2. Ruler of Hell (currently; The Devil)
3. Archdemons (the inner circle of Satan, together they form a council that governs Hell, with only Satan and Ayin surpassing their power and authority.)
4. Kings/Queens (originally Seraphim, the closest to Lucifer)
5. Princes (originally Cherubim, joined the rebellion in Heaven after many promises and much convincing)
6. Dukes (originally Thrones, joined the rebellion after seeing how many of the higher, and more powerful angels had already begun the assault)
7. Marquises (originally Dominions, joined by greed after learning of the promises Lucifer had made to the Kings and Princes)
8. Counts (originally Powers, joined Lucifer out of hatred for mankind and jealousy over Jehovah's love for man)
9. Knights (originally Virtues, they were the executors of the orders of Lucifer and the higher angels allied with him)
10. Presidents (originally Principalities, servants to the higher angels who rebelled against Jehovah. Because they were not directly loyal to Lucifer, they were given the lowest rank among the fallen angels)
11. Earls (Lower angels belonging to the order of Archangels who followed the higher angels)
12. Regular demons (Lower angels who just followed the higher angels)
13. Inhuman Creatures: Hellhounds and the Shedim
