Hellste is one of the afterlives of Innworld, and is the one reserved for sinners.
Geography[edit | edit source]
It was originally based on the nightmares of the gods that created it. There were flaming pits of hellfire and places so dark that not even a god could see inside. It was designed so that the inhabitants could slowly reshape it.
The Goblins reshaped it so that there were channels the sinners would flow into, and for light to shine on the dark places.
Within Hellste, the Antinium Heaven is slowly growing as a seperate realm.[1]
Overview[edit | edit source]
Hellste was created as a punishement for sinners, those truly depraved individuals. It was designed for souls to wallow in their filth and create horrors for [Warlocks] and the like to summon. In Hellste, souls can be reshaped, and the people there can become as monstrous as they were on the inside. It's speculated that Hellste is unfinished and the planned torturers for the souls weren't implemented.[2] Skills and magic are disabled in Hellste. The Lucifen are the original caretakers of Hellste, and they draw their authority from it.
Because Goblins were automatically designated as sinners, every one that has ever existed was sent there upon death. They massively outnumbered the combined sinners of other species and took control of the realm, reshaping it to suit them better and taming the wretched realm.[1]
Upon the destruction of Kasignel, the souls that were there at the time poured into Hellste.[3]
Antinium Heaven[edit | edit source]
The Antinium Heaven in Hellste is a new realm. The Goblins and ghosts are unable to cross the boundary and enter it, nor speak with the Antinium,[1] though both sides can communicate through signing.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
