While some people have missed the idea a little, I've gotten some great answers, too. Thank you, EN World.A lot of very different ideas.  Hell as a place of suffering, as a place of pennance, it's very interesting to see what people think.  I'd love to see more answers, and especially mroe answerd about my other question.  What are the inhabitants of Hell like? People are focusing on the place, and generally not going into terrible detail about Demons, while both are the point f the thread.In a game I'm playing in right now, the PC's don't know a lot about Hell. What they do know, however, is frightening.  Hell is infinitely large. Hell is a horrible place of extremes, burning heat and freezing cold, airless heights and crushing depths, lethal weather and deadly flaura and fauna. Parts of Hell are uninhabited even by demons because they are so hostile. Hell is coexistant with this prime, and an infinite number of others. Hell is populated by an infinite number of demons. Hell is where the souls of the wicked go upon death. Souls are used as a building material, as food, fuel, currency, and a source of amusement to demons, thus Souls = Power. Most souls in Hell have almost no memory of their former lives (because Telos, God of Death and Knowledge, takes all memories and knowledge he does not already posess from the souls of the dead as they pass through his realm on their way to their afterlife. Some souls are strong enough to keep their knowledge, however, and those that go to heaven are restored upon entering paradise.)  Hell is supplied with souls from an infinite number of primes, even if the number from each can become very low. Hell was not created by the Gods, it existed before they createdthe prime, and will exist after the prime is gone.Demons are creatures born of the stuff of Hell. They hold a piece of the power of hell within them, that fuels them and their powers (Demon powers are counted as Divine magic instead of Arcane, and will work in an Arcane Antimagic field. They also come from the Demon itsself, so severing dimentional ties won't cut off it's power supply. Demons are very powerful foes because of this.) A Demon's body and soul are one and the same, so damage to one is damage to the other. A Demon's level of power, experience, and state of mind shape its corporeal body. A Demon slain somewhere other than Hell is not destroyed, merely shunted to Hell to reform it's body and start anew (many are bound to hell for some time while they reform completely, others are reformed instantly. Those that are very weak or very strong come back the fastest.) A Demon slain in Hell is obliterated entirely and cannot be raised or ressurected by any means other than divine intervention (The power of hell draws the soul back to it, to be remade into other demonic creatures.)  A Demon feels no hunger, though they find pleasure in consumption. A Demon feels no thirst. A Demon never wearies. A Demon is immortal.  Some Demons are created by the power of Hell, and as such are very inhuman, but others are sould of mortals warped by the powers of Hell that held on and became powerful enough to survive on their own. These Demons, while evil and wicked, are capable of empathy, which arguibly makes them all the more terrible when they disregard it.- Kemrain the Hellish.</blockquote>
