THE NETHERWORLD This area is the mystical Realm of the evil dead, the playground of demons and the origin of the power of necromancery. It exists under the region known as Avernus and encompasses the remaining 8 layers of Hell: Dis, Minauros, Phlegethos, Stygia, Malbolge, Maladomini, Cania and Nessus. Avernus is ruled by the pit devil Belial. The other 8 layers are ruled by the dark eight: Furcas, Baalzephon, Zimimar, Zapan, Zaebos, Corin, Dagos, and Pearza. These greater devils have equipment of great value to those of evil orientation. You must be level 75 or higher to enter this area. Anyone smaller would surely be killed by an overflow of negative energy. Of course, only necromancers understand the power of the Netherworld, so only they may enter.
HISTORY OF THE NETHERWORLD Long ago, when the God known as Demise kept balance, he saw an unfair bias towards goodness in the universe. Seeing this, the powerful God created a demi-God named Hades, the Prince of Darkness, out of all things evil, unjust and impure. Hades was meant to restore the balance of good and evil in creation and, in doing so, he created a lair for the damned which he called Hell, a place to give evil an origin. This act pleased Chaos very much, but irritated Order greatly. For eternity, Order had respected the work of Demise, but with the creation of Hades, Order was greatly disturbed. Out of this displeasure, Order assisted Chaos in deposing and imprisoning Demise. Hades, without supervision or limitation, stepped up his evil work and was able to obtain protection from Chaos. But in threatening to create a counterpart to Hades, a supreme Paladin, Order was able to persuade Chaos to imprison Hades forever. In so doing, he was banished to an unknown place... but the dominion of Hades was left untouched, and his minions were left free to continue their endless work of evil and darkness in the Netherworld.
