## Overview

> Hadeon, an infernal realm bearing its essence in its name, is a nightmarish expanse divided into 12 layers, each embodying a deity or a cardinal sin. It has become a haven for cults that revel in the concept of a hellish refuge, a place where sinners can indulge in their vices with impunity, spurning moral norms and divine judgments.
> Numerous endeavors to civilize this accursed land have been undertaken by powerful nations, yet most have met with resounding failure.

# Layers of Hadeon

## Limbo: Layer of Desolation

#### Ultamatum

> A realm eerily mirroring our own, yet shrouded in an almost complete silence. Stalking, nameless creatures haunt this land, and the few inhabitants present are notably taciturn. The atmosphere itself exudes a natural sense of depression, casting a pervasive gloom over the environment.

#### Nihil

> A desolate expanse resembling a dead forest, where the soil is the only living element, and even the sparse grass that exists is dead. The landscape is dotted with lifeless trees, and small settlements emerge, often inhabited by those trapped in the liminal confines of Limbo. A sense of desolation pervades, echoing the barren nature of this layer.

#### Throne I

> A colossal fortress, now occupied by the Venatores Custodum, guardians tasked with ensuring safe passage between the layers of Limbo. In times long past, the Corpse King Solomon claimed this throne, his decaying body a macabre spectacle. A curse lingers, killing anyone who dares to touch his corpse hours later.
