Heaven, The World, & Hell

The cosmos in which this setting takes place was created six days and God rested on the seventh and called it good. And here is just a general detail of the cosmos from Heaven, the planetary bodies, Tellus (Earth), and finally Hell itself. All shall be detailed.

Heaven

Description: Heaven is absolute unity and presence with God and only those who are truly unblemished with sin can go, truly go there. But since man is born with original sin and cannot, he cannot enter Heaven, But the advent of the righteous going to Heaven shall be coming soon. Heaven is outside of time itself as it is beyond the orbit of Saturnus. Heaven is both a state and a place. A place because it is literally outside of the material universe, and also a state. It is the literal place of God and His full unyielding glory.

As described by mystics and prophets of God, they describe Heaven is a place of unyielding glory as ever mentioned. At the very top lies the very throne of God himself, where it is described as a golden blazing chariot, so bright and more fair than the Sol, and sits upon the throne is God Himself dressed in glorious splendor. He is dressed in fine amethyst and jasmines and surrounding Him are four great Seraphims, one that looks like a Man, the other looks like an Ox, the other looks like an Eagle, while the other looks like a Lion. They all sing in glory and praise to Him.

The only Man in Heaven is Chanokh (Enoch). How he ended up there was that God took him up before the flood. For he was the witness of Demons taking up the women of the line of Cain and making Giants. And despite the fact that no Man can ever enter heaven despite having original sin, he somehow got in and it's a mystery. And I would like to keep it that way.

Also in the future, the righteous dead of Limbo shall soon enter heaven once they are rescued from Hell, from the anointed one guiding them out of there.

Heaven is both a state and a place. It is a state where one is with God for all eternity and also a place for this outside of everything.

The Material Universe

Description: This is where the entirety of the setting takes place, where all the histories and failings of mankind took place in all their great heroes and all their great prophets all lived and died here. And Mankind is also sharing this land with Dwarves and their strange offshoots like Centaur, Giants, Halflings and more, and also the dwelling place of monsters such as the aforementioned Giants, Orcs, Vampires and various other horrifying monsters. And also the world is divided up and ruled over by heathen gods and who reign supreme here is Lucifer himself, who despite being chained into the Deepest Pits of Hell, projects his power on to the world as its ruler.

The planets are wanderers, unlike the fixed stars which have a fixed orbit, The wanderers also known as the planets have their own path

And before we detail of Earth (Tellus), we shall first list the order of the seven heavenly bodies of the material universe from the last to the first:

⁃ Saturnus
⁃ Jove
⁃ Mārs
⁃ Sol
⁃ Venus
⁃ Mercurius
⁃ Luna

Strangely unlike the other wanderers of the sky, Luna is actually made of rock. And the rest of the planets are made of ethereal things, things that are fundamentally above and noble in its element and humor, like that the higher planets are more like stars that wander than the Luna.

Earth is at the center of the universe, and Earth is also known by many names: Tellus, Terra or any other name in any language is the center of the entire universe. It has four great continents: Europa, Libya, Asia, and Australia (Antarctica). Earth has vast array of animals such as great monstrous fish of the sea, great beasts of the wild, things that creep and crawl and things that fly over the sky.

The Earth has numerous biomes. There's deserts, mountains, grassland, plains, river valleys, and more. And civilization only occurs with near or around river valleys. That's where all the great empires sprung from. And all the great empires die from. And for the rest, it is uninhabitable for civilization, for the two ends of the Earth are frozen, although Hyperborea is an exception, though it is still surrounded by icy cold. And dry grassland steppes, inhospitable deserts, and every war and every battle has been fought in the singular stretch of vast river valleys from the Far East to the peninsulas of the West.

But Earth itself is directly connected to Hell. Hell is the residence of all the things that died and all things malefic. It is either accessed by tearing a hole into the fabric of reality itself to access Hell or going to various deep openings of the Earth such as volcanoes or the river Styx leading down to Hell.

Under the Earth is her bowels which are filled with great riches. But the deeper you go, as mentioned, it will inevitably lead you to hell itself, which is at the bottom of the surface.

Also, the nations rule the physical world. Demons and Pagan gods rule the nations. And Satan is the ruler of the world.


Hell

Description: Inferno, Limbo, Hades, Tartarus, whatever you want you like to call it. Hell is the place where all the dead reside from the righteous to the unrighteous. Though the righteous will soon leave Hell so they may enjoy paradise for the coming Incarnation once the gates are unlocked.

Hell is also a state and a place like Heaven. It is a place because it is literally under the Earth and also a state because you are outside of the divine grace of God

To go to Hell, one must die; one must open a portal or one must dig down or follow the river Styx. Punishment in Hell is forever. And there's no getting used to it, to the soul that is being punished in Hell. It always feels like the first day for all eternity.

And to go to the deeper parts of Hell, which is beyond the Limbo, one must get a ferry from the River Styx. And the River Styx, when it leads to Hell, its water become, is essentially just the souls of all those who died flowing to their designated layer of Hell to either be punished or sleep in limbo. Though the majority of people do not go to Limbo.

The ferryman of the River Styx is Charon, and you must pay him on silver coin, pure silver and not debased silver, any currency is fine. He does not care as long as it is silver. Sharon, has two duties to deliver souls of the dead who pay him one silver coin to their designated place of punishment and also help the souls of the dead who recently just got into Hell.

Charon is quite strict with his rules on his boat. If you dare disrespect him or be too rowdy, you are literally kicked off of the boat, and the River Styx now has to carry you to your destination in the afterlife. And his physical appearance is that he looks like of the race of man, he is like an unkempt ferryman.

Now we shall detail the layers of Hell and punishments: (*Not all layers of Hell shall be detailed, though this will take heavy inspiration from Dante's Inferno and my own original ideas.)

Limbo: Limbo, known by many names as Hades, Sheol, Hel, Avraham's bosom or the Limbo of the Fathers is the place where all righteous go, from the righteous prophets, the first man and his family (with the exception of his firstborn, who is the first murderer), righteous pagan heroes, kings and philosophers, and also just righteous people of any class and nation who under the judgment of God are allowed to stay here.

The description of this place is that it has a perpetually dark blue sky, basically that moment in the day where the sun is about to rise or set, but it still is very, very blue, which I like to refer to as dark blue hour and you don't actually see all the residents of Limbo if you want to summon them. You have to bring the blood of a goat. And where the residents are is that they are literally buried under the soil of Limbo, all asleep, all waiting. And also, the first person there was Abel.

For everything else, which are going to be divided in two: Hell for the passions, which are specifically punishments for the passions and Hell of coldness, which are deliberate usurpation and absolute betrayal and blasphemy against God and all things Good. Now we shall list:

The Circle of Lust: The Circle of Lust is a place where sinners go who are most prominent in their Sin of Lust and sexual fornication outside the sanctity of marriage. I shall detail the three layers of the Circle of Lust.

1. In the first layer, the sinners here are perpetually blown and uplifted by great and mighty winds which are blown by the prince of lust himself, Asmodeus. And they are very strong whirlwinds that never make you land and never stop. And the sinners are constantly being slammed by jagged rocks for all eternity. And the reason why they are swept up by winds is the same way how they were swept up by their lower passions and refused to take responsibility of their whoredom. And many of the sinners here are often prostitutes, pimps, cheaters, and other fornicators
2. In the second layer is reserved for sodomites (like those who have relations with the same gender as them) or deliberately refuse to make children when making intercourse with their spouse. It is a perpetual desert with no water and extremely scorching hot sun. The sinners here lie onto the sand basking under the sun. They are constantly thirsty and barren of water and across this desert you may occasionally see Paimon in his caravan out into the distance. And the reason why is that the desert is because like their act, it can never truly generate actual life which was the true purpose of intercourse. Those people refuse to make children by their relation or deliberately so. So that, so now they would now live in the desert like they are a barren place.
3. This one is attempted fornication with the little ones. Here the sinners here are tied with big boulders on their necks and are perpetually sinking down underwater forever and there is no bottom. And even if they try to untie the ropes that tie them to the boulder, they and try to swim up, it is agonizing as they feel like they're perpetually drowning.

The Circle of Greed: The Circle of Greed is reserved as, you guessed it, greedy people. It's not just rich people who stay here. Anybody of any class is punished here for their Greed. Here, this the sinners are forced to push up a boulder and on top of the mountain lies riches and gold which they will be rewarded with if they manage to put the boulder on top of the mountain. But the mountain perpetually grows anytime one of them gets near to the top.

The one who resides at the top is the Demon Mammon, counting his riches and coins. The reason why the mount perpetually grows because greedy people always want more money and there's never enough. So, there shall be never be the time where they truly relax. And rest. Because like in their past life, they never rested. They only wanted to keep their gold reserves and their money to go up to the point that number is just meaningless at this point. So now they shall climb a meaningless mountain.

Also at the same time, Demons harass them while they try to push the boulder and climb up. And when it goes down, they have to redo it all over again. With the new length of the mountain.

Dwarves are even punished in this place.

Circle of Sloth: There are two layers within the Circle of Sloth and they both shall now be detailed:

1. In the first layer of Sloth, it is nothing but a stinky smelly bog. Those who are punished here are sinners who are absolutely lazy and cowardly. Here they are forever to stagnate and forever to be eaten by worms and other such creatures. And they can't really move because they are revoked of movement, like how they were in life, they refused to move, refused to work. So now they shall forever rot.

2. The second layer is reserved for those who are procrastinators, cowardly people, and irresponsible people who refuse to do work. Here sinners are placed upon an enormous treadmills and wheel that stretch endlessly through a dark barren wasteland. Even if their legs tire and start to bleed, Demons force them to do it anyways and make it even faster. Also at the same time, the land and its ground not very suitable to walk with. And they walk barefoot and at the same time, occasionally and randomly the ground gets really scorching hot.
