Cheliax and hell

[Zil]

Love the setting, it caters for everything. I have a problem with the 'hell' business in Cheliax though.

There's a couple of Christians who play with us, and I think it may offend them a bit.

Although the place is called hell, I assume it is not the Biblical Chrisian hell. That's not so bad, but how closely does Golarion's hell mirror the Christian hell? Could I get by with calling the place the 'Void' and have 'Voidknights'? Are we talking eternal torment here, how is Golarion's hell depicted?

In short, I have no problem with demons and devils, they've been around in d&d for years. But calling the place 'hell', and the hell references might be sailing a bit too close to edge so to speak.

Hell, modeled after the Christan Hell a la Dante and Milton's Hell, has been in the game for a long time since the early days. You could go the 2E approach and rename hell as Baator and devils as Baatezu and so on. I actually preferred the 2E names, but then again, I was a big Planescape fan.

Yup, that's what I've done
