Hell

**Hell**, otherwise referred to as the Underworld, Netherworld, or the *Realm of Damnation*, are the birthplace of demonkind and the opposing realm of the Heaven.

It is directly tied to its counterpart, the Heaven. Their eternal rivalry also affected the same realm, Ceyraholt, which explained the entire scope of the events taking place in *Adventures of Ceyraholt*. The main reasoning, aside from their hatred against Angels and mortals, is that Ceyraholt has the Radium stone, one of the source of powers that was found stuck in Nordival.

## Overview

### Geography

A network of subterranean caves extends throughout Hell, in addition to massive rock islands, rivers, and lava oceans. Molten rivers of lava flow throughout the realm, there are countless mesas, and Hell has "vast planes" where the Infernals and the Duke live. Hell is shrouded in continuous twilight and carries a stench in the likes of sulphur. To mortals, entering Hell is like entering a blast furnace. Much of Hell is hot, though not so hot that nevians can't tolerate it (albeit with discomfort). Hell is supposed to have a "corrosive influence," as seen by the numerous ruins that dot the realm.

While Hell's lakes are a burning combination of hellfire and sulphur, it is designed to torture prisoners via damnation until they finally perish in it, on the other hand, rivers and oceans are completely Hellish lava that would simply incinerate everything not originating from Hell itself.

### Lore

According to the reliable sources on the Church of Osiris, hell or the underworld was as a place, beneath Nexus Prime, where the wicked would be punished for eternity. There would be both psychological torment – at our knowing we had lost the opportunity for salvation – and physical ones inflicted by the Devil and his demons. There were gnawing worms and unquenchable fires. No escape from hell or mitigation of eternal torment was possible for the ordinary sinner.

Heaven is often described as a "highest place", the holiest place, a Paradise, in contrast to hell, Realm of the Damned or the Underworld or the "low places" and universally or conditionally accessible by nevian beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine. Limbo the viewpoint concerning the afterlife condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the Damned.

The Underworld is a place of unquenchable, tormenting fire and lava, A place of memory, remorse and thirst. Infamous for the eternal misery and punishment. As well for separation, misery, pain and anger. Thirst booms throughout the realm thanks to the unshakeable hot temperatures and lack of food for the poor inhabitants. It is best known as Hell, a place housing the fallen angel, who claims himself to be a (false) god, none other than The Devil, Lucifer.

The main force that guards the realm is the Legion, their collective armies that form a powerful military composed of the most vicious warriors in hell, Infernals and corrupted adventurers themselves who have fallen into the dark side. Hell is rife with war, both external and internal. The souls of the most ruthless, hate-filled and aggressive killers of mortal wars often come to reside in Hell, residing in fires of eternal punishment...

There are also rumours of two other devils. Samael is commonly regarded as the poisonous punisher, but Astaroth is the massive enforcer whose physical strength and anger like no other.

## Known Locations

Hell is known for having numerous locations around its realm. Its capital is **Severusi**, a massive city with a walled castle that serves as the kingdom of the Devil himself (in hindsight, there are three devils). The capital is safe since it is guarded by Infernals, its neighbouring megafortress known as the *Citadel of the Damned*, which has a defensive sentry known as the *Eye of Hatred*, and far from the *Centre Realm*, where the majority of the damned enter when sentenced, and it is followed by the Plains of Torment and the Forest of Carnage. There are also other notable headquarters such as Dredge's Ironhold and Grewishkahn, the latter which is governed by the Duke of Hell, Grewishkal.

Notable kill zones in Hell are the *Hill of Corpses*, which is "decorated" by millions of fallen warriors, sinner and victims with their bones and corpses arranged in a sickly manner, whilst the Engress of Hellfire is a dungeon of nothing but endless battle for daring warriors; Firebourne is a notable city of many things, such as armories and forgeries, the Valley of Hatred serving as a village of Hell's loyal followers and Terror itself is said to lurk a gigantic beast known as... **Astaroth**.
