Demonology

Abandon all hope ye who enter here

Charon rows dead souls to the afterlife down here.

All of the Netherworld is like a metaphysical cosmic black hole, spiralling down to layers of Underworlds below

### Realm 1

Limbo

souls not quite good enough for heaven yet not quite evil enough for hell are found here

Like Earth, but with immortal souls.

When Jesus entered after his death to grab the souls from certain people of the old testament, he caused an earthquake that made a fracture through all of the underworld.

### Realm 2

Lust

Hurricane winds

people are never comfortable standing still as the wind will always work to negate that

some people are just stuck floating in the air from the winds

### Realm 3

Gluttony

Rain, Sleet, Snow, and Hail everywhere

Cerberus the dog is here tearing people to shreds. They either heal up over the eons or never properly heal and are stuck laying there.

Cerberus looks messed up and gored out a bit from trying to fight an angel

### Realm 4

Greed

sea of people running into each other, violently over and over, beating each other with money bags

so disfigured and injured from eternity of fighting that they're not recognizable anymore

### Realm 5

Wrath (anger)

lagoon at the end of river styx

naked people in lagoon constantly punching and hitting each other in the mud so they can come out on top

bubbles from the lagoon aren't underwater vents, but people screaming from below

city of dis, glowing red buildings from fires within the city

Fallen Angels down here

three furies form into medusa, who can turn souls into stone.

### Realm 6

The first few realms aren't necessarily from bad deeds that *have* to cause harm to others. The rest do, however, which is why they're trapped in the city. Where the other layers were merely bad places, these places are specifically designed for suffering.

Heresy

people laid inside of rocky tombs constantly stoked with flames

other fallen angels make sure they suffer their punishment as they have suffered

souls there could see the past and the future, but not the present of their original homes

### Realm 7

Violence

Minotaurs here

entering here is via the rift that Jesus created

First Part: Violence against others

* river flagathon, river made of nauseous boiling blood
* centaurs guard the river making sure no one crawl out of the river, shooting them with an arrow to make them fall in again
* the more evil your violence was, the more in the middle of the river and submerged

those who successfully escape are turned into trees and bushes, forced to grow fruit, and they feel the pain from harpies eating their fruit, along with bleeding when their branches are cut

Second Part: Violence against God

* sand clearing surrounded by the living woods
* naked people roaming around groaning and some laying in the sand
* "fire snowflakes hit the sand and make it scolding hot
* leaving the sand will have dogs hunt you down and rip you to shreds
* sitting or laying down left you trapped there for 100 years

### Realm 8

Fraud

waterfall down into 8th layer

* trench 1 is for things like human traffickers and betraying love, forced to sprint from on side of the trench to the other back and forth, whipped if you ever slowed down
* trench 2 is filled with flaming dung for liars, with the only safety being holes in the rocks where you could put your head and torso in, leaving your waist and below burning,
* trench 3 is filled with people with their heads twisted fully backwards, forced to walk backwards forever
* trench 4 is people in heavy garments

### Realm 9

Treason

Frozen lake

sinners are left freezing in the lake with their heads sticking out, their tears freezing on their face and their ears falling off from the frostbite. Worse offenders are frozen on their backs, forced to look up and have their tears cover their eyes and face. There is a bonechilling wind here that only gets colder the further you go

It comes from Lucifer flapping his wings. Here, he is a massive giant, to the point where giants who could hold people in the palms of their hands were smaller in comparison to Lucifer, so he was at least 2,000 feet tall.
