The Infernal realm is essentially an analogue to Earth-- each tree, each stone, each building has it's double in Hell. A map of Hell, if one could be viewed, would look much like a map of the world... though you wouldn't want to travel there.The idea from this grew out of Mike Monaco's Bestiary of Spirits and In-Betweeners for the GURPS Voodoo setting (<a href="http://gurpsnet.sjgames.com/Archive/Magic/Rituals/Besti.htm)" target="_blank">http://gurpsnet.sjgames.com/Archive/Magic/Rituals/Besti.htm)</a>, where he listed Hutgin as Hell's ambassador to Italy, and Mammon as the ambassador to England, &c. I pictured Mammon sitting in a buiding akin to the Tower of London, and so forth, and it grew from there...The Astral Plane is the only plane regularly accessed IMC, and then only in an out-of-body way-- physical travel between planes is not possible.At least, as far as anyone knows...</blockquote>
