A fissure in the mountainside~
   You stand on a small patch of flat land on the moutainside.  The ground
before you has cracked open.  The stench of sulphur and brimstone emanate from
the fissure, and you can ever so faintly hear what sounds like screams.  The
air here seems charged with electricity, and you can feel the hairs on the back
of your neck bristle.  There are no birds chirping or winds blowing.  Almost as
if time has come to a halt.  The sides of the hole seems to have rocks jutting
out from them, forming a makeshift stairwell down.

Inside the fissure~
   You carefully climb along the walls of the fissure.  The air here is hot,
and seems to be getting hotter the farther down you go.  Small puffs of steam
come rising up every now and again, then vanish into nothingness as they
dissipate.  You can continue down further into the mountain, or head back up to
the relative safety of the mountain top.

Deeper inside the fissure~
   You continue climbing carefully along the walls of this rocky crevice.  
Farther down you can vaguely hear what sounds like howls of pain and screams of
anguish.  There most definately is something down there, but do you really want
to find out what?  You can continue down further into the mountain, or head
back up to the relative safety of the mountain top.

   The bottom of the fissure lies below you, or you can head back up the fissure towards the mountain top.

The end of the fissure~
   You stand at the bottom of the rocky shaft. The ground below your feet is charred and dry, with no signs of vegetation anywhere. The air is extremely hot and reeks of brimstone and sulphur.
   Every now and again the ground cracks open and a jet of steam comes hissing out, like a vaporous snake.
   Walls of rock bar your movement to the north, east, and west. To the south the barren field continues, and above you is the stone shaft of the fissure.

   You can go north to the rocky shaft of the fissure, or continue south in the field.

On the banks of a river~
   You stand on something like a beach before a large expanse of water. The ground, while not sand, is more like ash here. The water looks strange, almost unmoving. It's black in color so you can't even see an inch below the surface.
   You kick a small rock into the water and it just disappears. No ripples, no sounds, it just becomes engulfed in the darkness.
   To the north is the field and to the south is the river Styx.

   ABANDON HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE
   Over the tops of the doors you can see large shafts of fire shoot up into the blood red sky.  The doors are permanently opened, allowing the countless damned access to their punishment. Only when the last person dies will they close.

Inside Hell's courtyard~
   This is the place where the newly damned are sent, each to be ushered off to their own punishment. Walls of flame shoot skywards from the ground. Amongst the flame you see faces of damned souls, writhing in agony.
   Your ears hurt from the screams of the damned. Each voice crying for mercy, even though they know there will be none.
   The courtyard continues to the east, south, and west, and to the north is the main gate.

   To the west you realize there aren't any flames, just a darkness. An all consuming darkness that seems to seep into your very essence.
   The abyss lies to the west, while to the north, east, and south lies the courtyard.

   To the east you see what appears to be a stone tunnel, something like a hallway. The tunnel is surrounded by a sort of mausoleum, fitting since it could be your grave.
   The pit lies to the east, while to the north, south, and west lies the courtyard.

   Just beyond the wall a massive tower rises off into the black clouds. This path can only lead to one place, the legendary demon city of Dis.
   The courtyard lies to the north, west, and east. To the south is the heart of Hell, Dis.

   Over the top of the wall surrounding Dis you see a massive tower with a spiral staircase around it, leading to the top. Perhaps this is where the lord of the realm resides.
   To the north is the courtyard, and to the south lies Dis.

   Small stores are everywhere, selling everything from exotic armor to strange weaponry. Of course everything has a price, a price only the most wealthy persons can meet.
   To the north is the city gate and to the south the street continues. To the east lies a magic shop, and to the west is the weapon shop.

The labyrinth of the pit~
   You stand in one of the numerous halls of the labyrinth. Every wall looks the same, dark gray stone, with a cold rock floor. An almost identical hallway stretches off in every direction, each one leading to more hallways.
   As you step around, you notice that your footsteps leave no sound. In fact, it is deathly quiet except for your own breathing. Chances are if you screamed for help, no one would ever hear you.
   If one isn't careful, they could get lost in these hallways for all eternity.

The end of the labyrinth~
   As you come to the end of the hallway you realize that there are no other hallways here. At last you've come to the end of that Hellish maze. In the corner is a stone staircase that leads upwards, towards a black sky.
   You can go up towards the dark sky, or west and back into the pit.

High above the pit~
   As you reach the top of the stairs you get an attack of vertigo. You stand high above the pit on a small walkway. To either side of you is open space, marred occasionally by a pathway through the pit.
   The sky is pitch black, and the wind howls even though there is no wind here. As weird as it sounds, there is a strange order to this place.
   Below you is the pit, and to the far west is what appears to be the pit entrance.

The edge of the abyss~
   You're in the black space between the courtyard and the abyss. There's an eerie stillness here, as if you're moving between worlds. There aren't any demons here, just a blackness that seeks to consume your very soul.
   The courtyard is to the east, and the darkness that is the abyss is to the west.

Right over the abyss~
   You stand on a platform made of what appears to be light, hovering silently over the abyss. Demons throw souls into the abyss with great joy, as if feeding an unholy master a screaming supper.
   If you could only use one word to describe the abyss, it would be darkness. The abyss is something like a black hole. It absorbs all light, and unfortunate souls, around it, and sends them to an unknown fate.
   To the east is the transition area to the abyss, while below you is the abyss itself.

The abyss~
   You step off the floating platform into the darkness of the abyss. You begin to fall, faster and faster, until the platform disappears into the void. For the abyss is a limitless hole without end. All cast in fall for eternity.
   The funny thing about Hell is that the souls can never die, thus they suffer for eternity. Unfortunately, you aren't a soul. The sheer velocity of the neverending fall sends you into shock, killing you almost instantly.
   Sorry.

The suburbs of Dis~
   You're on a nameless street leading away from the main city. It's along this strip that the non-shopping buildings are kept. The road is made of cobblestones, finally a road not made from human remains.
   You can see a handful of buildings to the west, and from the exceptionally low traffic here you guess they aren't very important.
   You can go west towards the suburbs or east to the city.

The suburbs of Dis~
   You continue along the nameless street in the suburbs of Dis. The street is dead silent, you can't even hear the commotion of the main city here. The cobblestone road seems only slightly worn, not much traffic through here.
   South of here is a small building with barred windows that looks like a jail. Somewhat ironic when you consider what is Hell, if not a large prison?
   You can go east and west along the street, or south to the jail.

The suburbs of Dis~
   The nameless street of Dis comes to an abrupt end here. A tall building stands to the north, it looks to be about three stories tall. A sign on the fence surrounding it says it's an asylum.
   To the south is a large gate, beyond which you see many rows of tombstones, a graveyard perhaps?
   To the north is the asylum, to the south is the cemetary, and to the east is the nameless street.

The insane asylum~
   You stand in the asylum's courtyard where new inmates are brought in. A massive fence surrounds the area, preventing the escape of prisoners. The screams of the many inmates pierces the silence of the area.
   This is a place for the souls whose minds can't comprehend what's happening. Some people, when they see the horrors of the underworld, snap and can't appreciate their suffering. This is where those souls are brought.
   The asylum lobby is to the north, and the nameless street to the south.

The asylum lobby~
   You enter into the lobby of Hell's insane asylum. This asylum is much like turn of the century asylums in that it's more like a torture chamber. Demons strap "patients" to racks and proceed to beat the sanity into them.
   The room was once hospital white, now it's red with the blood of the inmates. A small L shaped counter lies against the wall. To the east is the first ward for the crazy souls.
   You can go south to the exit, or east to the wards.

The crazy ward~
   This ward is for the nonviolent souls whose minds have snapped under the pressure of damnation. The walls are padded to prevent them from injuring themselves. After all, that's what demons are for.
   A staircase in the far corner leads upwards to the next ward, reserved for the violent souls.
   The lobby is to the west, while the violent ward is up from here.

The violent ward~
   This ward is for the souls who became violent on their arrival to damnation. While none of them pose a threat to demons, they're sent here since souls aren't meant to fight back. The staircase continues up to the final ward for sociopaths.
   You can go up or down the staircase to the other two wards.

The psychotic ward~
   This is the third and final ward, for souls who didn't stop at attacking demons, but attacked other souls. They're locked away here until they're sane enough to be released, at which time they'll probably join the demonic ranks.
   The only exit is down to the second ward.

Outside Hell's prison~
   You stand outside the small prison of Hell. It's a small, boring building made of concrete or steel to prevent escapes. A prison in Hell is somewhat pointless, as being gutted and strangled with your intestines is normally punishment enough.
   The nameless street is to the north, and the prison is to the south.

You enter the prison of Hell. It's not very large, with only enough room for a few people. A desk is set against the wall for the filing of reports and such. There's a lone cell to the east, with the following words etched into the door:
   DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!
   Whatever's in that cell must be quite dangerous to merit this kind of treatment.
   The only visible exit is to the north and back to the suburbs.

A holding cell~
   You stand in a ghoulish prison cell. Rats and roaches run along the floor, a floor which is sharp and jagged, allowing no rest. There is no bed or sink, just a dark cell made for the sole purpose of torturing those imprisoned here.
   The walls are cracked in places, though they remain quite sturdy. But the ceiling seems quite damaged, as if someone has been scraping at it.
   The only exit is back west, to the main prison.

A hole in the ceiling~
   A-ha, there was something funny with the ceiling. Someone has carved out a small tunnel that leads quite a ways upward. It's quite small, with only enough room for one person. A small pinpoint of light can be seen at the end.
   You can go up towards the light, or down to the cell.

Close to the surface~

   Of course if there was no one in the cell, and the tunnel does break through to the surface, then whatever Hell deemed too dangerous to be free is walking around free...
   You can go up to the surface, or back down the tunnel.

The throne of Lucifer~
   The light here is almost blinding, a pure white light that emanates from the room. You're at the end of the ledge, and balanced precariously on the edge is a massive throne made of gold. A throne fit for the lord of Hell.
   Vertigo attacks you as you look around. While the ledge is spacious, it is still very much open. If you trip up, you just might not live to regret it.
   The only exit is back towards the tower to the east.

   But, in a corner by a dresser and mirror is a pile of skeletons. Adventurers who stopped to rest but never woke up probably.
   The only exit is south, back to the outside of the tower.

   Rows of pews are set up, allowing demons to pray to their dark lord. A soft chanting is coming from the north where the altar is.
   You can go north to the altar or south to the outside tower.

   A poor soul has been crucified and a crown of thorns placed atop his head. A sign nailed to his chest says, "Catholic". In Hell their is only one religion, the religion of the Morningstar.
   The only exit is to the south.
