Hell World Map
Hell is Orsterra's realm of dead counterpart. It is the realm where the regretful and resentful souls wander free, as well as the world where the most of the Bestower of All chapters take place.
The hellish realm is a layered structure, with places like Cragspear and Valore being close to the realm of the living, so it's possible to create a gate and access them by using the power of the Accurst Flame. The deepest places can only be reached through The Gate of Finis.[1]
As the name suggests, hell is not a place fit for the living. The fate of those who go to the etheric plane without adequate preparations is unknown, but it's specified their sanity is affected.[1] The only way for a human to go through the realm without being influenced by the environment is through the protection of the gods/divine rings: The Ringbearer Chosen and the Guardians of Light can move freely thanks to the Ring of the Flamebringer; Sazantos summons a black armor out of the corrupted Rings/Finis power before entering the Gate. Rinyuu suggests she can stand the plane's influence due to the divine properties of the Crossford bloodline.[2]
Due to its metaphysical properties, strong souls can even warp the surroundings to their will, achieving feats that wouldn't be possible in the world above, like stopping time upon certain place or shaping the enviroment to their liking.
History[]
This realm is first mentioned in the infamous tome From the Far Reaches of Hell written by Salomon.
In the Bestower of All events, The Dark Knight and the Dark Priestess use the black flame powers to create rifts to this realm, to bind the rancor of the dead and using them as barrier and control the souls of former allies to frustrate the Chosen One progress.

Trivia[]
- Despite its name, Orsterra's hell seems more like a purgatory than a place of eternal torment. In the Japanese version, this realm is appropriately called Limbo.
- As a realm unfit for the living, allies from the living world can't be summoned in this world and its regions. Meanwhile dead allies can be recruited from here and can be summoned both here and Orsterra.
- The soundtrack "Hell - Battle" plays for all random hellfiends (excepting Cait) encounters.
- The concept for Hell was a deep sea ecosystem-like, where no light reaches but living things exist.[3]
