Geography of Hell General When an impure soul dies it immediately arrives on the shores of the river Acheron, along which grow black asphodels with seven petals and where stands a single dry, withered pomegranate tree.  The soul is then escorted across the river Acheron by a personification of death (e.g. the Grim Reaper, Thanatos, Yama, etc.) to Limbo where it meets the four Judges: Minos, Rhadamanthus, Aeacus, and the soul’s Guardian Angel.  It should also be noted that this is where Satan resides, forever chained to a stone throne and guarded by the Angel of Death, who is the archangel Samael, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse

Explanation of Crimes and Associated Punishments General -Source of sin becomes instrument of punishment. -Physical sin warrants a physical punishment. -Emotional/psychological sin warrants an emotional/psychological punishment. -A soul only serves time in Hell for crimes that have been intentionally committed against those who are innocent and that the perpetrator has not repented for in life. -A soul must atone for all of one’s unrepented sins in hell on the plane devoted to each particular sin. -Severity of punishment is relative to the specific crime and the severity with which the crime was committed (e.g. 1st degree murder,

Judgment of Sins Through the judging of sins it is implied that there is something concrete that is being judged.  Therefore there must exist something that represents one’s sins in one form or another.  It is also said that the length of one’s life is predetermined so there must also be something that can measure time as a representation of one’s mortality or lifespan.  Both of these measurements are combined in the form of an hourglass that serves the dual purpose of recording a soul’s sins and determining one’s lifespan.  The fine sand in the hourglass represents one’s lifespan, when the all of the sand has s

Rules Evil cannot exist without good and vice versa. God rules heaven. Satan rules hell, having been indirectly created by God. God is not omniscient. Satan is the collective consciousness of Evil or the absence of good, not a being deliberately created by God. Predestination is irrelevant. Pride is the source of all evil. Repentance grants a soul salvation in God’s eyes. Most souls will eventually repent. A soul’s stay in Hell is not infinite unless they refuse to repent or have previously made a deal with the devil. Making a deal with Satan bars a soul entrance to Heaven even if they eventually repent due to the fact th

Seraphina’s Inferno Created by Alexa Camille Richard Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza. [Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live your lives as brutes, but to be followers of worth and knowledge.] –Canto XXVI, Inferno

 The next day Dagon, Keper, and Geb left Elvenstone for the first time and decided to find at least one Elf that would listen to them long enough to answer a few of their questions about the quest since Ethlan said that they would learn more of the quest from others.  They were surprised when the Elves were very happy to speak to them ever since they had learned of their choice to accept the quest.  But they were not willing to give information of the quest or the stone. As they were walking through the trees that were near the stream, Keper and Geb still trying to comprehend that fact that they had accepted a quest that would put their ver

 Once the door had closed silently behind the threesome one of the six of the other Elves, whose name was Galidor, spoke and said, ‘Now the matter that concerns the House of Ethlan and many others has arisen.  The prophecy spoke also of another, a fourth who will play a part in the destruction of the Stone of Galamo.  It is said that they will have been saved from ruin such as the other three were, yet this time it will be a maiden who wields the sword.’ At this Carnar said, ‘You cannot mean to say that Aleka is the fourth one that was spoken of in the prophecy?’ Galidor with a glance at Ethlan said, ‘Yes it is Al

 The days that followed were days of peace and quite, for Elvenstone seemed to be suspended in time in a world where the most terrible thing was the cawing of a crow.  The Elves there seemed to have no worries or cares and Dagon, Keper, and Geb were not very willing to break the peace and speak aloud their fears of the future.  The Elves did not speak to them or even seem to notice them and even when they tried to talk to the Elves they were often given no reply.  After a few days, or it might have been a few weeks for all they could tell, Telpar came to them and said that Ethlan summoned them to the Hall. Wondering why they, who seemed not
