Category:Hell

Hell is one of the four dimensions that comprises the SotF universe. Situated beneath the realm of human Earth and somewhere alongside the reality of Purgatory, Hell is home to the Fallen. It holds a far greater purpose than what lies upon the surface, for God did not create something so absolute in evil as is so easliy believed. The true purpose of Hell can be found within her Second Tier, guarded by the Hierarchy and ruled by Lucifer himself.

The First Tier
Also referred to as 'The Playpen' the upper levels of Hell are dedicated to the seething masses of disposable Hoard members, varying in age from thousands of years to mere hundreds. There are countless souls in the queue for them to torture and toy with, as well as one another to war against.

The purpose of the upper levels is a very simple one; it is a training camp for demons and twisted humans alike. They are the ones who would, in the event of the Apocalypse, be sent in droves to make battle across the Earth and the Heavens, and they are the ones who would be eradicated for the cause. Only the most promising ever come to learn of the secondary depths, and if they disappointed they were simply never heard from again. The Devourers have little patience for disappointment, after all.

Anything that resides in Hell’s upper levels is disposable. They are taught what levels of their world are the most precious and they fight to protect them whenever the Host bears down upon Hell to tear a soul from its grasp. Demons were created to be weak against angels, for Lucifer had never once desired to create something that could legitimately harm his siblings. Demons built their own world and reality in the upper levels while Lucifer had focused his energies on the Hell that truly mattered. Captured in the Cage though he was, Lucifer had never been out of contact with the denizens of Hell’s true hierarchy within the Second Tier.

The Second Tier
The Second Tier of Hell is a sprawling architectural marvel hidden beyond Lucifer's Cage. No angel knows of its existence beyond Lucifer himself, nor are they capable of entering it. This level is the region built by God for the purpose of saving that which could no longer be saved.

Beneath the city of Hell runs the river of judgement, the true home of human souls lost to Hell, and where all the playpen’s broken toys manifest in the end. No soul can escape the rivers icy touch, and those that fall to it can never be risen again – not to what they once were.

The river cleanses. It purifies and it heals, and those that live in this, the true level of Hell, fulfill God’s work by ensuring each born again soul finds its way from Reapers to unborn children, so that a new life could begin and another lesson could be lived.

The Second Tier is observed by the Princes and the Knights, White Eyed Demons hand chosen by Lucifer and Death Itself to guide the souls of the fallen through the river, and document the souls of Hell as they pass on through.

Hell's Purpose
The true purpose of Hell is something far deeper and far more profound than punishment for your misdeeds. It is where bad souls came to truly die, and where new souls are harvested from the broken shards. It is where the fallen children of God are erased, and new ones rise from the ashes.
