Underworld Corp

**Underworld Corp** is the corporation run by Hades. Its main role is to collect, organize, train and employ mortal souls that have died. Most shades do entry level factory work, manufacturing goods for the brand Pomegranate. Other shades help catalog the lives of mortals, assisting in trials that determine the morality of shades that enter the Underworld. It is assumed that almost everyone who works at the company also lives in the Underworld, except for one intern per year from Olympus.

## Locations

### Tower 1

The main tower of Underworld Corp, this building looks like a typical high-rise office building. It has a large "TOWER ONE" label above the entrance doors, and a large lobby with a dominating poster of the Goddess Styx. The elevator has a tiny red elevator attendant who likes gems as tips. There is an eel tank to one side of the lobby that Persephone enjoys.

There is a lounge with many vending machines, where Hades and Persephone talk after their visit to Acheron. Hades buys her a pomegranate flavored soda, which she drinks.

#### Hades' Office

Hades' office is in The Underworld Corp HQ, Tower 1, level 99. He has a desk, couch, bookshelves, and a large window behind his desk.

Minthe has a desk outside of Hades' office, where she performs her duties as Hades' personal assistant, and spends time surfing the internet and talking to Thetis and Thanatos.

Hecate also has a desk, but it is unclear if it is near Hades' Office. She has 3 monitors and uses them, among other things, to shop online from work.

#### The Library

The Library is where scrolls, detailing the lives of mortals, are kept. Shades that work here record the lives of every single mortal as it happens. Whenever a mortal is born, a single scroll is started. When a mortal dies, the scroll is filed away in the library.

Because the scrolls indicate every event that transpired in a mortal’s life, it is used to determine how good or bad a soul is when it comes into the Underworld. Persephone was assigned a job here as a "shade coordinator," collecting information for the trials of mortal souls.

#### Supply Closet

The supply closet, found on Level 5, is Minthe and Thanatos' makeout spot at work. There is a single light-bulb that illuminates the area. Minthe eventually tells Thanatos that she can't hook up with him there anymore because she is in a "proper committed" relationship with Hades.

### Tower ?/Acheron/The Beach

Hades takes Persephone to Acheron during the tour when she starts her job. Acheron is where the Mortal Realm meets the Underworld. Newly deceased souls are deposited here and must pay Charon, the ferryman, a single obol to cross into the afterlife. Shades who cannot pay must wait on the shores of Acheron for 100 years. The Titan Styx resides here.
There is a modern lobby and a locker room where employees change into Mortal Realm appropriate clothing. The actual "beach" is located down a pillar-lined hall. The beach has red sand shores and numerous broken pillars, with several of them floating in the air.

### Tower 3

Tower 3 is where the Fates reside. They have a large archive of VHS tapes that detail both the past and present. They will occasionally lend these tapes to deities that visit them. Hades visits them during Episode 75 to retrieve an old memory.

### Tower 4/Tartarus

Tower 4 is Tartarus, where problematic shades are kept. Minthe sends Persephone here on a wild goose chase out of jealousy. It is mentioned to be much colder than the rest of the Underworld. Above the main entrance doors, a sign reads, "Restricted Access". The shades residing there are usually dormant, although when Persephone entered Tartarus, they began to act up and attacked her. Hades explains that the shades felt threatened by Persephone, due to her being a fertility goddess. She raised a forest to protect herself, so the building now has flowering trees on the inside and a large tree growing from the top of the building. Hades mentions that this is unusual, as nothing is meant to grow in Tartarus.

There is an alarm and live feed in case of a security breach, which Hades turns on after Persephone gets tricked into going into Tartarus.

Cronus is said to be imprisoned in Tartarus.

## Trivia

* The logo of Underworld Corp appears to be a stylized pomegranate; both a nod to Underworld Corp's sister company and to the original myth wherein Persephone eating the seeds of the pomegranate prevented her from leaving the underworld.
