Diablo 4 Burning Hells

Diablo 4 Burning Hells

Sanctuary was never meant for humankind. It was forged as a refuge from the war between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. Instead, it became a new battleground in this Eternal Conflict. A secretive group called the Horadrim has kept mortals safe. But now this once powerful order is a husk of what it once was. And Sanctuary’s ancient creators have returned to claim the hearts of humankind. This is the story of their downfall.

Hell will be explorable in Diablo IV.

The Burning Hells, otherwise referred to as the Underworld, Netherworld, or simply Hell, are the birthplace of demonkind and the opposing realm of the High Heavens. All demons have their point of origin here and if struck down, will reform in time, namely from the Black Abyss.

Known Locations

Realms

There are currently eight (known) realms of Hell, each with their correspondent demonic ruler:

• Realm of Anguish (Andariel)
• Realm of Damnation (Skarn)
• Realm of Destruction (Baal)
• Realm of Hatred (Mephisto)
• Realm of Lies (Belial)
• Realm of Pain (Duriel)
• Realm of Sin (Azmodan)
• Realm of Terror (Diablo)

With the exception of the Realm of Damnation, each of Hell’s realms spawned from one of the seven heads of Tathamet, and each in turn was ruled by one of the seven Great Evils. The Realm of Damnation, ruled by Skarn, formed sometime later, taking shape from “hellish chaos.”

Lore

A network of subterranean caverns runs throughout Hell. Molten rivers flow throughout the realm, numerous mesas feature, and Hell features “vast planes” across which Siege Beasts rampage. Hell is cloaked in perpetual twilight, and carries the stench of sulfur. To mortals, walking into Hell is like walking into a blast furnace. Much of Hell has a high temperature, but not so high that humans cannot withstand it (albeit with discomfort). Hell is said to have “corrosive influence,” and this can be seen in the ruins that dot the realm. A series of thoroughfares connect Hell, which are overseen by Guardians.

The Hells were originally divided into seven realms, each corresponding to one of the Great Evils, and can geographically be distinguished between upper and lower regions. Every level of Hell exists in a void, with 200 feet separating each level from each other. No walls mark the edge of Hell, and flying creatures frequently travel between Hell’s levels. The seven realms are located in the center of Hell, while the outer reaches of Hell are controlled by the Mallet Lords.

Hell is rife with war, both external and internal. The souls of the most ruthless, hate-filled and aggressive soldiers of mortal wars often come to reside in Hell, residing in fires of eternal punishment.

At times, over the centuries, Hell and Sanctuary touch each other in a manner that allows the summoning of demons into the mortal realm to be easier than it might otherwise be.

The fires of Hell can be calcified to form scoria. Even one small ember of Hell could ignite a fire capable of consuming the mortal realm.

History

Like all of Creation, Hell was created in the final battle between Anu and Tathamet, the corpse of the latter giving rise to the realm and demons erupting from it as maggots would from a corpse. Unlike Heaven, which has clearly defined borders, the realms of Hell were constantly shifting, the realms of influence varying under the seven Great Evils. Like Heaven though, Hell was indeed a physical location within the universe, though on the occasion that demonic incursions were launched against Sanctuary en masse, demons erupting from the ground is a common M.O.

It was due to Sanctuary’s existence that Hell fell into internal conflict. Even after the Sin War, the Prime Evils believed that humans could be converted to their creed, while the Lesser Evils saw their focus on humanity as an unwanted deviation from the Great Conflict. The result was a civil war that resulted in the Dark Exile, though in the aftermath, Azmodan and Belial broke their alliance and fought one another, claiming entire realms as their own. Skarn also captured part of Hell as his own domain. By the Darkening of Tristram, Azmodan had held the upperhand in the civil war for quite awhile. By the End of Days, both Azmodan and Belial controlled half of Hell each.

It was at this point that the status quo changed. Diablo had managed to gather the essences of the six other Great Evils into himself and after calling all the legions of Hell to his side, assaulted the High Heavens. However, he was struck down and crumbled into dust. Hell’s invasion had failed, and it had lost its former lords in a single blow in the process.

Decades later, during the Reign of Enmity, a mortal force under the command of Inarius invaded Hell, clashing with a demonic army under the command of Lilith.
