Hell

Location

Hell is a conical cavern in the Axis Mundi, near the bottom of the Milky Firmament, exclusively in the Dreamy Side. The cone has 7 steps called "circles", each corresponding to a capital sin.

Features

Hell is generally very dark. Plant life is minimal, creating a weak food web. Since Hell was made not by the Artisans, there aren't any creatures actually designed to thrive there, and only sequential colonization.

An ancient spell is constantly renewed to prohibit true swaps within Hell, which means beings as high as apotheoi and Artisans cannot escape from it or invade it through this spell. One can only enter the outskirts of Hell by the Limbo, a hall where Tsábara lives in with his dogs, overseeing the cavern.

Circles of Hell

1st Circle

The first is called Tigrarium and pertains to the sin of Vice. Those who were addicted to substance, gambling or anything else unhealthy and tarnished their social circles with their vice are doomed to pay.

Those addicted to substances will be poisoned with awful drugs everyday, suffering from endless bad trips. Those addicted to games will have their limbs pulled like their goods they gave up.

The floor is covered in glue, symbolizing how addiction feels addhesive.

2nd Circle

3rd Circle

The circle of Mammon encompasses the sin of Coveting, where those who steal are forced to eternally roll spheres of gold over muddy marshes, symbolizing the futility of the riches they amassed at the cost of others.

4th Circle

The circle of the sin of Lust is called Perviolatrix. Rapists and abusers are sentenced to an eternity wearing cuffs of hermetium. A powerful magnet pulls the cuffs (and the sinners wearing them) at high speeds, and they fly around, the force pulling them just as they let their lust compell them.

Across the air are many metallic objects, which the sinners are bound to hit as they fly, increasing their pain.

5th Circle

For the sin of Violence exists the circle []. Those who let unjustified violence

6th Circle

The "Ring of Fire" is where those who commited the capital sin of Betrayal are imprisoned for eternity. The floor consists of charcoal over an electric grid. Volcanic Fairies are employed to constantly replenish the fuel.

The Aqasam are responsible for this ring, with Alika personally psychopomping sinners there.

7th Circle

Also known as Contracorona, this is an icy prison. A heart-like system of pumps and pipes gathers cold air from Pinnacle Zenith down into the cave.

To be sentenced into eternal punishment in Contracorona, one must exert the capital sin of Opression. The world's tyrants are chained with incredibly cold ice, as frosted mist fills their lungs and fogs their teary eyes.

The Artisans are locked at the heart of Contracorona, their bodies completely frozen by pools of liquid azote. Above their heads hang swords made from the unchanging fragments of the Milky Firmament, waiting to shatter them should they move from the icy cell.
