Seven deadly sins

The **seven deadly sins** are classifications of **sins** or **vices**, which were originally used in early Christian teachings to educate and instruct its followers in the human tendency to sin.

A deadly sin is seen as any turning from God in the form of a conscious breach of his law. In traditional Catholic theology, a disiction is made between sin and deadly sin, which today are called weaknesses and mortal sin.

Originally the sins were called main sins ("*vitia capitalia*") and were seen as the sources of all other breaches of the moral commandments. In the Bible deadly sins are not mentioned, but in several places so-called vices are recited (e.g. in Cor. 6:9 ff.) Pope Gregor I wrote an early list of deadly sins, latest modificated by Thomas Aquinas and reduced to seven, which are often collected in the acronym SALIGA, found out of their Latin names:

* *Superbia* (pride)
* *Avaritia* (greed)
* *Luxuria* (lust)
* *Invidia* (envy)
* *Gula* (gluttony)
* *Ira* (wrath)
* *Acedia* (sloth)

Each of the seven deadly sins have a corresponding virtue called the Seven Virtues. The identification and definition of the seven deadly sins have, through time, been a fluid process, as it is generally the case with many aspects of religion, and the idea of what the sins actually refer to have changed with time.

## Role in *The Great Devil War*

In Hell, condemned humans who have practised one or more of the deadly sins are punished in eternity.

Asgard

In Norse mythology **Asgard** (Danish: *Asgård*) is one of the nine worlds and is home to the Norse gods, who is ruled over by the god Odin. Asgard is accessable through the stairwells of the afterlife.

## Mythological background

According to Norse mythology and Norse cosmology **Asgard** (/ˈɑːsɡɑːrd, ˈæs-/; Old Norse: *Ásgarðr*; "Enclosure of the Æsir") is one of the nine worlds and the home of the Asir or Æsir, a tribe of Norse gods, as well as the Vanir. Asgard, as any of the eight other worlds, is situated on the great world tree Yggdrasil, which is located at the center of the universe, and is often depicted as being somewhere in the top of the tree. Asgard is surrounded by an unfinished wall, attributed, according to the *Gylfaginning*, to Hrimthurs who ride the steed Svaðilfari. The king of the Asir, Odin, and his wife Frigg, rule over Asgard together.

Asgard is the home of many different locations, the two most famous being the stronghold of Valhal or Valhalla, which is the home of Odin and Frigg as well as the place where half of the humans who die in battle go upon their death, and Fólkvangr, where the other half of the humans who die in battle go to upon their death. Those who die of old age or sickness or any other reason go to Hel.

SMS fra Helvede

The following information contain spoilers.

***SMS fra Helvede*** (literally *Text Messages from Hell*) is a "text message short story" written by Kenneth B. Andersen, which consist of 12 short chapters that can be sent to a cell phone over two days' time, if one writes "SP HELVEDE" to the number 1277 (might only work in Denmark). The story takes place in the fictional universe seen in *The Great Devil War*. The story costs 20 DKK in adition to the charge set by one's phone service for sending text messages.

## Synopsis

One of the condmned of Hell gets lucky enough to escape while being moved to a new punishment. During the flight he chances upon a cell phone ...

It is a story from Hell, told by a true first-hand witness. A tormented soul whose name everyone knows. And fears.

## Characters

* Vlad the Impaler, the voivode of Wallachia (count) in 1448, 1456-1462 and 1476. After his death, Vlad ended in Hell as a condemned. He gave Lucifer the idea to create Spike Woods.
* Devils. No devils are mentioned by name. The gragorns are mentioned, but not by their name but by the name of their species instead.
Goliath

**Goliath** (/ɡəˈlaɪəθ/ gə-LY-əth; Hebrew: גָּלְיָת‎ Goləyāṯ; Arabic: جُليات Ǧulyāt (Christian term) or جَالُوت Ǧālūt (Quranic term)) was according to the Book of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible a giant Philistine defeated by the young David in single combat. At the time of their match, the Philistines and the Israelites were at war with one another, and Goliath was the champion of the Philistine army. Every day for 40 days Goliath would step in front of the Israelites and ask them in anyone dared to fight him, however as the Israelites feared him no one dared. One day, while David was in the area to provide his three brothers in the army with fresh supplies, he overheard Goliath and convinced King Saul to let him fight Goliath. He killed the giant with a single hit to the forehead with a river stone hurled from a slingshot. The story signified King Saul's unfitness to rule, as Saul himself should have fought for Israel.

After dying, Goliath came to Hell as a condemned, where he toils as a Rock Bearer in eternity. Later, when David died, David came to be a condemned as well, accompanying Goliath as a Rock Bearer too.

## Physical appearance

While in battle, Goliath wore a helmet of either copper, bronze or brass (the uncertainty stems from the original text's use of the Hebrew word נְחֶשֶׁת "nephosheth", which in the biblical context may mean copper, bronze, and brass, but which in modern Hebrew simply means copper) on his head, a scale armor of the same metal weighing five thousand shekels (125.66 pounds, 57 kg), on his legs he wore greaves of the same metal, and he carried a javelin of the same metal, which he usually had slung over his back. The spear shaft was like a weaver's rod, and its open point weighed 300 shekels (7.5 pounds, 3.42 kg). He also carried a sword.

In his afterlife in Hell, Goliath has retained the large round hole in his forehead from when David gave him the mortal blow by hurling a river stone at him from a slingshot. The hole, the size of a walnut, is just above his right eye. Goliath still retains his enormous stature, and seemingly his strength too.

Great Devil War (conflict)

The following information is based on events in *The Wrongful Death* and *The Angel of Evil* and contain spoilers.

The **Great Devil War** or simply the **Devil War** (Danish: *Den Store Djævlekrig*, *Djævlekrigen*) was a major conflict between Lucifer's devils from Hell and Aziel Stofeles' army of devils from New Hell and accursed, for the control of the Devil's throne. The war begun as a result of Lucifer's decision to take immortality from the devils, which many devils protested against. Therefore, many devils left Hell and joined Aziel Stofeles, who intended to usurø the Devil since he considered the removal of their immortality to be a severe crime, because he believed Lucifer had become too soft, and because he had grown to be a megalomaniac. The war was mainly fought in Hell, but leading up to the final battle were several incidents of espionage and murders committed against devils from Hell. In the end, it semed Aziel's army would win, but the war was ended when God and his army of angels came to Lucifer's rescue at the last minute.

## Background

In many cultures the foot or paw of a rabbit or hare is carried as a good luck charm. The superstition is held by people in nurmerous places around the world, including Europa, China, Africa and North and South America. In Europe the supersition may have existed since 600 BC among the Celtic people. There are variations on the superstition, some of which state that the rabbit must have special attributes, must have been killed in a specific place, must have been killed in a specific way, or killed by a person with special attributes (e.g. a cross-eyed man). The belief in North American folklore is thought to have roots in the African American folk religion "hoodoo" (a variation of the religion of voodoo).

Cocytus

**Cocytus** (Ancient Greek: Κωκυτός *Kokytos*, literally "lamentation" or "wailing"), or the **River of Sorrow**, is a river running through a region of Hades known as Tartarus, not far from the god Hades' throne room, and whose water makes anyone who drinks of it cry, lament and wail. The person will most likely be paralyzed with the sorrow and will have to be awakaned out of the trance by someone else.

To reach the River Cocytus from Hades' throne room, one only has to go out of the throne room, then head right and turn right every time the cave tunnel forks, and will eventually reach an area with stalactites and shadows with the river lying straight ahead.

## History

After Sam accidentally swallowed one of Philip Engel's two summoning pills he was transported to Tartarus in the underworld of Hades, next to the bank of the River Cocytus. He had been thristy so he had drank water from the river, after which it had forced him to sit cross-legged, sobbing with a steady stream of tears running from his eyes, and without the energy required to get up or stop crying. He was only awoken from his trance when Philip Engel called his name. Philip and Satina Dargue had traveled to the underworld to save Sam, with a letter from God to Hades asking for Sam to be released.

Shortly after Hades appeared behind him, who had used his helmet of invisibility to remain unseen and followed Philip and Satina to the River of Sorrow. He revealed his plan to not let them leave Hades, after which Philip reminded him of God's letter to him. Hades pulled letter from his pocket and tore it to shreds and let the pieces land in the River Cocytus, where they were carried like snowflakes downstream.

## Background

Kokabiel (Aramaic: כוכבאל‎, Ancient Greek: χωβαβιήλ), also spelled Kôkabîêl, Kôkhabîêl, Kakabel, Kokabel, Kochbiel, Kokbiel, Kabaiel, or Kochab, considered the 'angel of the stars', is a fallen angel, the fourth mentioned of the 20 Watchers of the 200 fallen angels in the Book of Enoch of the Hebrew Bible. His name is usually translated as "God's star", which is fitting as it has been said that Kokabel taught his fellow angels astrology.

According to the Angel Raziel's Book, Kokabel is a holy angel. In other apocryphal lore, he is however considered as fallen, what in Christian tradition today is often synonymous with being an opponent of God and therefore a demon. It is said that Kokabel had the command over an army of 365,000 spirits.

Muammar Gaddafi

— Gravechop sending Gaddafi to his punishment in *The Falllen Angel*

**Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi** (Arabic: معمر القذافي)  (June 7, 1942 in Yūḥannām at Sirte – October 20, 2011 in Sirte) is a condemned. Known alive as Colonel Gadaffi, he was the statehead in Libya from 1969–2011. Until, Gadaffi lead as revolution leader Libya's politics, but in October of 2011 he lost his power to the rebellion army. On October 20, 2011 sources in Sirte reported that Gaddafi presumably died of injuries connected to an arrest. After dying, his soul came to Hell, where he was lead to the Swamp of Vanity, to receive his punishment.

While Gaddafi was a highly divisive figure politically and morally, he did reform his nation's governments in many ways that limited its people's freedom, despite the fact that he advocated for a form of socialism. Initially, he lead Libya with Arab nationalism, but later switched to Islamic socialism, a form of socialism that incorporates spiritual aspects of Islam into it. Later, however, he replaced this form of government with his own "Third International Theory." Gaddafi was criticised by many for presumably being to blame for numerous human rights violations and for funding global terrorism in his region and abroad, especially by the United States and the United Kingdom, and by political opponents in Libya. Some even said he tortured his own people. While a lot of the claims have yet to be verified, it is indeed a fact that he created a form of police state with surveillance of Libya's citizens and removed freedom of the press.

Gaddafi was the ruler of Libya. The people didn't vote him to be leader, he took over by intimidation. When he was the leader, he was very very mean to anyone who didn't want him to be the ruler. He even killed people who weren't on his side, like protesters! Also, as the ruler of Libya, Gaddafi was in control of the oil exported from the country and he made a lot of money selling it. However, he didn't share this large wealth with the people of Libya, even though many of them were very poor. All of these things made people very angry, and they wanted to make him pay for killing the protesters and keeping all the oil money for himself and his family, so they became violent and killed him.

## Historical background

Gadaffi is based on the actual, historical Libyan dictator of the same name.

The other four rivers are the Styx, the Lethe, the Cocytus and the Acheron.

The water in Phlegethon is made of fire. When the demigod Heracles drank of the water, however, he did not burn, but instead the fire water reignited the demigod's rage, so that his forgotten divine powers returned and allowed him to tear his chains off.

## Mythological background

Plato described the river Phlegethon as a "stream of fire, winding itself round the Earth and flowing down into the depths of Tartarus." It ran parallel to the River Styx. According to Greek mythology, the goddess Styx fell in love with Phlegethon, but she was consumed by his flames and sent to Hades. At last, when the god Hades allowed her river to flow through the underworld, they were reunited.

Vampire

The following information is based on events in *The Die of Death* and contain spoilers.

A **vampire** is an undead, mythical creature that sucks the blood or the life force out of humans or animals. The victims of the vampire can potentially turn into a vampire themselves afterwards. There lives vampires in Outer Reach, and these are considered part of the accursed.

In vampire legends, the unholy beings are often connected in some way to werewolves.

## Behavior

Vampires are bloodthirsty beings. They need blood in order to survive, and their thirst for it can make them wild and unruly. I'd they find a source of blood, practically nothing can keep away. Vampires have a special fodness for human blood.

As an unholy creature, the vampire can be held at bay by a cross. When a vampire meets the invisible force of the cross, it feels pain, and falls to it its knees and will have trouble breathing, as if it has been hit in its stomach. The vampire is also afraid of fire.

The voice of a sounds dead. When a vampire picks up the scent of blood, their voice may sound like a deep, vicious growling or hissing, which is so inhuman and raw that it barely qualifies as a voice. Vampires can also roar animalistically.

## Anatomy

Anatomically a vampire is a vile thing to look at. It is a humanoid being, with two arms and two legs, one head and one torso, but its proportions makes it more beast than human. It has glowing blood-red eyes. Its body is pale as a corpse's and resembles a deformed human, with a back so distorted and crooked that it cannot stand up straight, so it works bent over like a hunchback. Its two arms are skinny and ends in warped fingers (described as *knoklede* in Danish, "bony") with nails that are as long as gruesome eagle talons, sharp enough to rip through fabric, and presumably also skin and flesh. A vampire is so emaciated that every bone shows through its white skin. Its tongue is blue and its lips chapped, and it has bone white fangs as pointy as needles, able to tear skin and flesh.

Apples of eternal youth

**Idun's apples**, the **apples of youth**, or the **apples of eternal youth**, are apples guarded by the Norse goddess Idun, which has the power to grant anyone who eats them eternal youth. However, they must be eaten and make oneself younger gradually, as de-aging is painful. The apples can counteract Tempus' venom. The apples are green and juicy.

The apples grow on a tree in Asgard.

## Trivia

* When Philip Engel came to Aziel Stofeles' New Hell in the ruined city of Enoch in Outer Reach in his search for Satina Dargue, Philip took on the cover name of "Malthorn Dargue", using Malthorn's first name and Satina's last name, as the last name "Dargue" was the most commonly used in Hell. Philip, who had become a devil only shortly before, completed the alterego with a transformation.

Ker

The **ker** (pronounced /ˈkɜːr/, plural **keres**) is a female type of death demon from Greek mythology, who prophesizes dark fates. According to the mythology, the keres are the ones to chooses the people who will fall in battle, and hover over battle fields, where they wait for someone to die, so that they can drink their blood and send the soul to Hades.

Keres are the daughters of Nyx and are sisters of the Moirar, the fate godesses in Greek mythology. Keres are similar to the valkyries of Norse mythology, but while the vakyries are often depicted as being benevolent, the keres are traditionally malevolent.

A ker looks loathsome. It is the size of a baboon and covered with wispy, dirty fur, its face is deformed and its nose nothing but two holes, like a skull. Its mouth is filled with needle-sharp teeth. Its two eyes are ink-black with vertical, white pupils. The demon has two ragged wings on its back which it can fold and fly with.

Tempus, being immortal, is able to live forever. Being the living embodiment of time, he is the one that makes the sand inside every living being's hourglasses within Death's basement flow. His venom has the extraordinary ability to speed up someone's aging. It is possible that he has other powers over time itself, possibly being able to turn back someone's aging or stop it completly as well. Tempus' venom is so dangerous because there is no antidote to it.

## Physical appearance

Tempus or Time appear as a two-feet long snake with scales that are white as snow. Its body is no thicker than an index finger. Its eyes are yellow, it has a forked tongue and it has a pair of venomous fangs.

Mr. Legion

**Mr. Legion** is a he-devil and a gragorn. He lives in the house that used to belong to the Dargue family, which they sold to his family. Mr. Legion is a member of the Legion family.

## Physical appearance

Mr. Legion is a gragorn, and like all other gragorns he is massive and musculous, with lizard-like scaly, green skin, and a scaly, reptilian face, a pair of leathery wings on his back, a long, thick rat's tail by the rear, yellow crocodile teeth, a forked snake's tongue, a pair of enormous, long thick horns and two yellow reptilian eyes with black pupils. Mr. Legion's hands are rough, and when Philip Engel met him at his house they were red with human blood. When Philip met him he was also dressed in an apron, which was also red with human blood. It is possible that Mr. Legion's skin is blackened with soot, as most executioners' skin is. This soot never comes off.

Hans Christian Andersen

**Hans Christian Andersen** (/ˈændərsən/; Danish: [hanˀs ˈkʁæsdjan ˈɑnɐsn̩]), often called **H. C. Andersen** in Scandinavia (born 2 April 1805; died 4 August 1875), was a Danish author.

## History

### *The Fallen Angel*

Philip Engel and Satina Dargue encounter Andersen in the Garden of Eden, while he is arguing with Søren Kierkegaard over a review Kierkegaard had written of one of Andersen's books. Andersen says angrily that "The way you stabbed me in the back with your so-called review, I’m surprised the pearly gates didn’t slam shut when they saw you coming, Kierkegaard!" and Kierkegaard states that "Justice is one of the cardinal virtues," and that Andersen's book "proved [you] weren’t just a lousy author, but a lousy person, too.” Close by, Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein was sitting and playing chess, and Einstein tried to put the two writers at ease, reminding them that "everything is relative."

### Notes

1. ↑ In the original Danish version of *The Fallen Angel*, Andersen instead said "After the way you stabbed me in the back with your so-called review, I am extremely surprised that the Pearly Gates did not slam into your nose and that with a bang!" ("Efter den måde, hvorpå De stak mig i ryggen med Deres såkaldte anmeldelse, er jeg overordentligt forundret over, at Perleporten ikke smækkede i for næsen af Dem og det med et brag!")
2. ↑ In the original Danish version of ‘'The Fallen Angel*, Kierkegaard says that Andersen's book "testified not only of a wretched author, but of a wretched man." ("vidnede ikke blot om en ussel forfatter, men om et usselt menneske.")*
Magic

**Magic**, also called **sorcery**, is a supernatural force that can be harnessed to change aspects of one's surrounding world. Magic is part of many belief systems, either as part of a religion's core rituals, as an existing force, or as a force that is considered forbidden. According to the three major Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, magic is forbidden, not because it is ineffective, but because it violates the sovereignty of God. In modern times, magic has in fact become synonymous among some Christians as being Satanic, and the same goes for anything occult.

Lucifer utilizes a form of dark magic when he conjures up the Test Chamber, and God sealed the door to Satan's greatest defeat with a form of white magic that makes it impossible to lock. Theologians, however, claim that God does not need to utilize magic or perform magical rituals when performing miracles in the Bible, although it is obvious that he does perform supernatural actions. The vargars, the devils in Hell who conjures accidents and meaningless suffering on Earth, has magical blood flowing through their veins, which are the source of their power.

Magic also exists in other faiths and mythologies, including the Old Norse religion, which had, among other things, Thor's magical hammer Mjolnir.

1. ↑ In chapter 29 of the original Danish edition of *The Devil's Apprentice*, the demon Skrigklo (Shrillclaw in English) tells Filip Engell (Philip Engel) that it is the the source of power that allows the vargars to conjure accidents on Earth is not their incantations, but the vargars themselves, stating that the source of power is from "det trolddomsblod, der flyder i deres årer." Translated into English this means "the magical blood that flows in their veins". While this scene also appears in the English edition, the detail about the vargars' magical blood was omitted in the English translation of the book.
The Devil's Apprentice (film)

***Djævelens lærling*** (eng. ***The Devil's Apprentice***) is the working title of a p feature film adaptation of the first volume of Kenneth B. Andersen's *Great Devil War* fantasy book series, currently being developed by the Norwegian movie studio Maipo Film with support from several different countries. It is not known yet if the film will be animated or live action.

## Development

The film rights to *The Devil's Apprentice* were first bought in 2012 by the Danish film company Nimbus Film at the same time as they acquired the rights to another one of Andersen's book series, *Antboy*. When Nimbus found that the budget for a live action version would be too big to produce in Denmark, Nimbus changed direction and attempted to develop the project as an animated film. Torleif Hoppe was hired by Nimbus to write the script and with financial support from the Danish Film Institute Nimbus hired concept artist Peter Dodd and the American graphical designer Cameron Davis to develop a visual concept for the film. Together, with help from some inspirational artwork as a starting point, the two of them developed a more cartoony version of Andersen's Hell. When the film still turned out to be too expensive to produce in Denmark, and because Nimbus wanted to change the story because of this reason, Andersen decided to take back the film rights.

On April 15, 2019 Andersen revealed in an English interview with MyBooks.net regarding the release of the English version of *The Wrongful Death* (org. title: *Den forkerte død*) that he had sold the film rights for *The Devil's Apprentice* to a large Norwegian movie company, Maipo Film, and said that the project involves several different countries, and that he crosses fingers for it succeeding.

Elysium

**Elysium** (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, *Ēlýsion pedíon*) or **the Islands of the Blessed**, is an afterlife for virtuos humans according to Greek mythology.

Elysium (oldgræsk: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) eller De Saliges Øer, er et efterliv for hæderlige mennesker ifølge græsk mytologi. Elysium er en forestilling om efterlivet, som blev udviklet over tid og holdt i live af nogle græske religiøse og filosofiske sekter og kulter. Oprindelig adskilt fra Hades' rige, var indgangen til Øerne forebeholdt dødelige mennesker, der var beslægtet med guderne og andre helte. Senere blev dette udvidet til at inkludere dem, som blev udvalgt af guderne, de hæderlige, de heroiske, hvor de ville blive efter deres død, og leve et saligt og lykkeligt liv, og lave enhver ting, de nød mens de var i live
