A plane associated with demons and torment.
General[]
Hell—also known as the Pit—was the physical and metaphysical plane associated with demons. It was subdivided into several realms, each ruled by one of the Princes of Hell, that were eternally at war with each other. The princes had some sort of connection with Hell through the Crowns of Hell. It was created before Lorelei was made into a succubus, i.e. more than 1000 BCE.
It was a place of eternal torment, torture, and punishment, for both souls and demons.[1] Even pleasure was a means for control and conditioning.[2] Many demons disliked Hell too, and those who had the chance to live and act on the mortal plane usually preferred to stay there.[3][4]
Demons who died in Hell would be reborn and reformed relatively quickly, usually within days. Demons who died on Earth would also reconstitute in Hell, but the process was much slower.[5]
Pathways of Hell[]
There were permanent gates between Hell and the mortal plane, though many of them were secret or hidden. It was possible to quickly go from one place on Earth to another using these, though it might require negotiations with or payment to the keepers of the gateways and routes. How deeply these routes required the traveler to go into Hell also varied.[6]
Major events[]
Hell went through major upheavals initiated by the death of Baal during the Battle of Blackthorne manor, which was followed by the connected battles of Perdition and of Suite 1705, where Azazel, Belial, and Sammael all were defeated.[7] The upheavals were strong enough that rumors of them spread to the mortal plane.[8][9]
Lilith apparently claimed much of the powers that previously belonged to Baal, Belial, Azrael, or Sammael.[10]
Some knowledge about the Crew and its members appeared to have spread widely through Hell, and was not only limited to words about Alex, Lorelei, and Rachel. The demon Butler recognized Molly and Onyx in Los Angeles. The most likely source of knowledge about them was Evelyn.
