[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 616151, member: 4937"] Hellish. Think of every nightmare you have. It's worse. If it isn't, then it very well isn't hell is it? There is no water in hell. Only acid and sewage and other similarly unhealthy fluids. Seas of filth. Lakes of acid. Rivers of tar and sludge and caustic, with grinding ice flows of frozen fire. Streams run with lava. Tributaries are filled with maggot spawning blood, or just flesh eating worms. Clouds are of acid and fire, or mosquitos and biting flies. The air is continually filled with screams, or thunderclaps, or the sound of stone smashing against stone. The air is frequently poisonous, and where it is not, the Devils do thier best to pollute it with clouds of ash and smoke from great bleching furnases fueled by corpses. The prettify the land with crosses of burning iron, tangled fields of rusted metal, welding together from the image of every weapon ever used to shed blood in anger. There are deserts of bone and rust and sulfer and descicated but still living flesh. There are jungles where every plant is dead, forests made up of every tree ever cut down without cause, and mountains made of the stones of every city cast down in war. There are libraries containing every lie ever spoken, and buildings made of mortared together souls and palaces made from the bodies of men and women who in life sold thier bodies for the usage of others. In short, it is not a place for casual vacations. For more inspiration, consults Wayne Barlowe's Guide to Hell and Dante's Inferno. [/QUOTE]
