Hell

**Hell** is the primary setting of both *Hazbin Hotel* and *Helluva Boss*. It is where both sinner and hellborn demons reside.

## Description

Hell is the supernatural realm of demons. It is inhabited by a population of indigenous hellborn: entities which were born in Hell, and sinners: Humans who have died and have had their souls sent to Hell.

The atmosphere is presented as perpetually choleric, disorderly, and noxious, though capable of supporting carbon-based lifeforms. Hell's geography is divided into Seven Rings as first revealed by the lyrics in "You Will Be Ok".

Each ring possesses its own unique atmosphere, such as the Pride Ring possessing a permanently red sky, and the Lust Ring which has a blue sky.

Hellborn demons have the ability to traverse across any of the rings, made easily accessible via an extensive elevator network, whereas sinners-turned-demons are confined to the top-most ring, the Pride Ring, by methods and reasons unknown.

Hell's society is incredibly chaotic due to the unstable and hostile disposition of its populace. Within this civilization, there exists a crude form of hierarchy defined by power, with all of Hell being ruled by a king: the fallen angel, Lucifer Morningstar, whose daughter and heir apparent is Princess Charlie. However, in spite of Hell's apparent state of chaos, the realm appears to be capable of providing and maintaining rudimentary public services, evidenced by the appearance of firefighters in the first episode of *Helluva Boss*, "Murder Family".

The levels of this hierarchy are broken up from top-to-bottom as follows:

* Lucifer Morningstar - The King of Hell
* Lilith Morningstar
Charlotte Morningstar - The Queen & Princess of Hell
* The Seven Deadly Sins
* The Ars Goetia - Prince Stolas and other demons with royal authority
* Overlords - Demons who wield considerable power/influence in the Pride Ring
* Sinners - The damned souls of deceased humans
* Succubi, Incubi, and other unknown demon classes of Hell
* Imps and Hellhounds - The bottom of Hell's society

Hell apparently suffers from mass-overpopulation which Exorcists from Heaven attempt to solve through yearly exterminations, which is a mass genocide of its inhabitants. It is presumed these are conducted primarily to reduce Hell's sinner population and it is unknown if the other denizens of Hell are targeted in the attacks. Charlie aims to stop this by giving sinners a chance to rehabilitate and redeem themselves by checking into her hotel and later ascending to Heaven.

It appears the seven rings of hell each specialise in one feature to accommodate the hell-borns that traverse them.

## Known Rings

### Pride Ring

The top-most ring of hell with a red sky and is recognised with the colour red, ruled over by Lucifer Morningstar and is the ring that has the sinners confined within itself and as a result is overpopulated to a massive degree. This overpopulation has led to the annual extermination which Charlotte Morningstar plans to correct with the Hazbin Hotel.

The ring itself is a mishmash of the other rings to a degree to placate the sinner's wants and needs, with major cities all throughout the ring, most notably Pentagram City, and there appears to be a colder region of this ring which houses Andrealphus's palace.

### Wrath Ring

The second ring in the line-up with an orange dusty sky and is recognised with the colour orange, ruled over by Satan.

This ring has a countryside landscape with many cowboys with a wild west aesthetic all throughout, this ring provides the food supply that feeds all the other rings along with itself. Wrath also provides a means to get out the inhabitants' anger through fighting rings.

This ring is inaccessible to Sinners.

### Gluttony Ring

The third ring of Hell with a yellow sky and is recognised with the colour yellow, ruled over by Beelzebub.

This ring is a luxurious populated area with many plazas and luxury hotels for the rich, many raves are held here and this ring also provides a delivery service for fast food which is the industry Gluttony founded with the help of Wrath's food supply. This ring generally has a beach-like landscape.

This ring is inaccessible to sinners.

### Greed Ring

The middle-most ring of hell with a green sky and is recognised with the colour green, ruled over by Mammon.

This ring is the most industrial of the seven, with a never ending mass of factories and runoff in the dams built in the area, this ring is also a major hotspot for mafia activity and crime as a whole who operate openly and unabashedly. Greed also provides amusement in a way with parks such as Loo Loo Land but due to being the Greed Ring, will rip off anything that amasses more money for the creators.

Greed is also shown to have many suburban areas away from the big cities.

This ring is inaccessible to sinners.

### Lust Ring

The fifth ring of hell with a blue sky and is recognised with the colour blue, ruled over by Asmodeus.

The lust ring is a major spot for nightlife and clubbing themes and events, with many buildings having neon signs on them and a lot of them being clubs or brothels, a major club being Ozzie's, this ring is always raining to really have the nightlife effect.

This ring is inaccessible to sinners.

### Envy Ring

The sixth ring of hell with a purple sky and is recognised with the colour purple, ruled over by Leviathan.

This ring is almost all an ocean except for some small islands here and there, this ring has complete underwater cities that house the aquatic demons that reside within the ring and functions similarly to a kingdom with a castle in the centre of a big city, where the Eldritch family lives as they rule over the envy ring. This ring in particular seems especially prejudiced against those of a lower station and will outright deny you access if you aren't what they deem as worthy enough to even enter the ring.

This ring is inaccessible to sinners.

### Sloth Ring

The seventh and lowest ring of hell with a pink sky and recognised with the colour pink, ruled over by Belphegor.

This ring is the medical district of hell with many hospital, surgeries and pharmacies within, the ring has a luxurious feel to it with the floating rocks with waterfalls coming off of them with a cloud aesthetic on the buildings around, a more notable hospital called St. Ans Hospital is housed within the ring.

This ring is inaccessible to sinners.
