-===== The General Hell ===== +
- +
-====Pre Ultimatum Period==== +
- +
-Hell was a barren wasteland of nothing but lost souls. Demonic creatures and fire. Hell had one almighty ruler. A demonic Dragon God of untold power. +
- +
-====Ultimatum Period==== +
-The Dragon God puts 9 sources of power within hell for the demon spawn to fight over. Those that claim this power will be called lords. +
  
-====Post Ultimatum Period==== +The plane of Hell, fire and pain, A Realm where the wicked reside. Upon this realm lay nine lords, Nine Prisoners', Nine Deities that rule over the Nine Cities of Hell. Their word is commandment despite the wicked nature of the beings that reside here, it is still a realm of law.
-Hell is split into 9 circles and each lord gets its own. The Dragon god goes into a slumber and Hell as we know it commonly begins.+
  
-====Per Ashlem War====+Propergander for generations has painted the Nine Hells as a realm of utter punishment. A Realm of pure evil, That all mortals of the material plane should fear and anything related to it. However the truth of the matter is both reassuring and horrifying at the same time. Being a realm of law the //Nine Hells// are far more organised and culturalized than most are lead to believe, Now its still a far cry from the pompous capital cities in //Felwind// but a realm containing so many mortal souls there was always bound to be some familiar structure taking place. \\
  
 +Each of the nine Cities operates to the will of the Arch-Devil that controls it so each City has different cultures surrounding it. And each Arch-Devil acts on their own will, none answer to each other and none are responsible for another's actions. \\
 +In the plane of the //Hells//, Might is right. The strongest, most powerful and influential devils rule over those lesser. Those in power within the Cities of Hell know that tyrannical rule is not the answer here, True powerful devils know when to extend a hand to help, know when to make an example and know when to yank the leash of their underlings are becoming complacent. \\
 +Power and Influence demand respect within the //Hells//. A Devil will often seem a friend, just one of their many tricks to make you drop your guard, But show your power and suddenly a Devil shows its respect, Especially if that power was gained through malicious ways.
  
 +Souls of the wicked, souls of the dammed, souls sold or souls earned tend to find the Nine Hells as their afterlife destination. Weak souls arrive here as slugs, nothing more that prey to be snapped up by Arch-Devils, Pit Fiends or Night-Hags. Used as fuel or currency or even brought in as slaves. \\
 +But the Hells have laws and all abide by them, Souls starting from nothing can work their way up in power and status if they are willing to warp their morals and use others for their own benefit including their superiors. \\
 +The Cunning and wicked thrive in this realm, Those willing to twist their words into sweet nothings, Sell their morality to the highest bidder and offer themselves as objects of desire. But it is always wise to abide by the lawful realm. Tempering your malice and having respect for some other Devils can be a ticket to greater status among overlords rather than fighting everyone you meet.
  
-====Post Ashlem War==== +The Sins of mortals hold great power in this realm, Embracing these can get you far. \\ 
-The 9 Hells isn't exactly what you would expect. \\ Many books in the conglomerate’s libraries and the words preached by their holy men speak of hell as a barren land of fire and brimstone. endless red lakes and smoke filled air. bodies and bones litter the landscape and there is an endless soul crushing dread. \\ This is all simply not true. Hell although definitely not the friendliest place is actually a semi functioning society....full of corruption to be sure but what government isn't up to their necks in dirty deeds these days? \\ Hell is divided into 9 territories called Circles, that’s where the 'circles of Hell' phrase comes from. \\ Each circle is ruled by the biggest and most powerful demons to walk out streets. \\ Its always the most powerful as the Overlords are constantly getting challenged by other Demons when they think they stand some sort of chance. \\ Society functions much the same as the mortal realm, there are stores they are constantly robbed, banks that are constantly robbed, taverns that nobody seems to rob? etc etc. \\ but the place balances itself as just as often as a store or shop gets robbed the owner is mugging those same robbers in the back ally...its all kinda hectic when you see if for the first time.+Understanding the power of a contract is key to your status within this realm.
  
-The one thing that doesn't happen is death, nobody dies in hell they just suffer for eternity or are banished to some other plane where they can die. Territory wars between current overlords and hopeful newbies happen almost every fortnight and its never pretty. some demons find it hilarious and i guess that’s just the fact. Hell isn't a place for softies. 
  
-Hell is full of high buildings, apartments, castles, all manor of modern civilization. much more modern then humans could ever come up with thats for sure, a certain level of class is required for people to actually take you seriously but at the end of the day, the strongest of us are on top and they make the rules...of which their are few. 
  
-So i hope you enjoy your time in Hell cause you will be spending a lot of it here.+====Layers vs Cities==== 
 +Mortals call it the Nine Layers of Hell, residents of the hells can see where mortals get their layered naming from but it's more accurate for residents to call them the Nine Cities of Hell
  
-----+Each layer or city of the Nine Hells hold their own courts that judge and rule over any who pass through their domain.

-Ruled by Zariel+
  
-----+**The Blood War** \\ 
 +//"You wonder why this realm is stained red? from the stone to the dirt to the sky and Hell-spawn that reside here? Well it was the Blood War my friend. Blood enough to drown the mortal plane...thrice over."//
  
-===== 2nd Layer: Dis ===== +While the realms were still young, The Blood War raged. The Chaos from [[planes:Pandemonium]] rose like the rising tide, a sickness with no conscious, threatening to envelope everything before it had even had a chance to begin. 
-Ruled by Dispater +
  
-----+Two would stand that still remain today, //Zariel// and //Asmodeus//. a contract was formed. the first Contract enacted by an Arch-Devil. Calling upon the Domains of the Pantheon, United against an enemy that held no love, no moral, no empathy. An Alliance between Celestia and Hell, On that contract it was stated that such an alliance would never happen again. \\ 
 +Pouring forth from the crucible, Souls were forged and supplied to fight in the Blood War, to fight against the unrelenting monstrosities of the Abyss. Zariel and her armies on the front lines for the fate of existence that had yet to even experience its first decade.
  
-===== 3rd Layer: Minauros ===== +That War waged on longer than any war to be. It would have gone on forever if an act of desperation had not put an end to it.
-Ruled by Mammon+
