Pre-Challenge Haei'tuusik Hell
Haei'tuusik Hell, also known as Haei'tuusik Earth's Hell and formerly Hell of One's Own Making, is a dimension connected to the Haei'tuusik Universe and one of untold hundreds of thousands of versions of hell that exist within the Plains of Rebirth. While it certainly isn't a pleasant place to reside in, this version of hell is rather unique compared to all of its' kin. Specifically, it, along with its' counterpart, is structured more akin to what is found on their connected Earth then, with its' technology, electronics and so on, in fact, there isn't any sort of evident suffering and torture that goes on in the realm. But that would be deceptive, as this version of hell's form of torment is one coming from the hands of the humans reborn in the realm typically in the form of their vices being prevalent and acceptable, with a noticeable apathy towards virtually everything, be it drug use, gambling, alcoholism, murder, or rape. the other aspects is the nature of the beings reborn in this place.
Instead of just being reborn as they were, if a bit twisted for their particular punishment, all the humans reborn in this version of hell are also typically reborn as a demon of some kind, and though they do vary from person to person, all of them are born sterile, which factors into the "natural-born" demons, such as the Imps and Hellhounds, as they can reproduce sexually, making it even more unique within the wider Plains, as that sort of thing rarely, if ever, factors into any realm or location. Evidently, this is also reflected in its' version of Heaven, if more authoritarian/totalitarian in comparison to the rather anarchistic hell.
In 2020 (2420 NE) roughly a year after Haei'tuusik Earth's discovery by the Alliance of Civilizations, the Entities contacted the ruler of Haei'tuusik Hell, Lucifer Morningstar, and informed them of a little "Game" they tend to play every once and a while, specifically they issue challenges to those they wish to have partake in the game, and in this case, the challenge they issued to Morningstar is that Haei'tuusik Hell must create a program meant to help rehabilitate hell or else have the Hunter destroy Haei'tuusik Hell, Heaven, Earth, and the universe that Earth is in. Effectively put it "reform or die". And after much "encouragement" from the Hunter, Morningstar complied and thus the game began. The Entities and their companions, the Heralds, split into three groups, those who wish to help the Lucifer's daughter, Charlie, reformation program, those that wish to hinder her efforts, and those who are neutral but could be a aid or a hindrance to either side. In the course of two months, the game ended with the Entities helping Charlie succeed in creating a program meant to redeem the demons (or at least the originally human demons) while at the same time killing off the cruel god of Haei'tuusik Heaven and having her son, and Charlie's half-brother, replace her as ruler of Heaven.
Since that point in time, Hell has changed significantly, while it continue to serve as a place where less then virtuous Haei'tuusik Earth-born humans are reborn in, it no longer a anarchistic realm where ones' worse vices are forever indulged, rather, the more simple, and often times less harmful, vices that is allowed while things like murder and rape are strictly punished by the new law-enforcement of Haei'tuusik Hell, as provided by the new government of not just Haei'tuusik Hell but also Earth and Heaven, the Earth Triumvirate, with Charlie' reform program offered to anyone who wish to pass on.
History[]
Entities "Game" In Haei'tuusik Universe[]
Geography and Structure[]
Like all versions of Hell, this version is a supernatural realm of demons. It is inhabited by a population of indigenous hellborn: entities which were born in Hell, and sinners: Humans who have died and have had their souls sent to Hell. The atmosphere is presented as perpetually choleric, disorderly, and noxious, though capable of supporting carbon-based lifeforms. Hell's geography is divided into Seven Rings, each ring possesses its own unique atmosphere, such as the Pride Ring possessing a permanently red sky, and the Lust Ring which has a blue sky.
Government and Politics[]
Pre-Challenge[]
For all case and purposes Haei'tuusik Hell simply did not had much in the way of a government at all, and can be bested described as anarchistic, with only a bare minimium amount of respect (or rather fear) given to the rulers of Haei'tuusik Hell, be it the King of Hell, Lucifer, the Seven Deadly Sins, the aristocracy of the Goetica, or the even the Overlords, the quasi-warlord and criminal kingpin. This is further made evident as their exist almost no civil services in any the rings, policing is often involved gangs, militias or mercenary groups, almost all of Haei'tuusik Hell's hospitals only exist in the Sloth Ring, and the only true civil service that exist in all the rings is the fire department. But there does exist, to some extent, some form of governance in Haei'tuusik Hell, even if its' not made apparent, especially in the Pride Ring, itself frequently carved up by the aforementioned Overlords, as well as petty gangs and even lower ranked warlords, all of which are allowed by Lucifer, knowing none of the various groups would ever try to overthrow him directly, the rings, however, are a bit more rigidly governed by the Princes, even if its' still rather loose in nature. The best description of Haei'tuusik Hell's government, how little that exist, is it being a Kraterocratic-Kleptocratic Anocracy, as its' closest thing to describe the governance of Haei'tuusik Hell pre-challenge, although it still not truly accurate enough to describe the sort of government Haei'tuusik Hell seemed to operate under, at least, to some extent.

Society and Culture[]
Pre-Challenge[]
Haei'tuusik Hell's society is incredibly chaotic due to the unstable and hostile disposition of its populace. A crude form of hierarchy defined by power exist within this civilization as such having royal authority under families such as the Art Godetia family and Overlords who wield considerable power and influence in the Pride Ring, but the entirety of the realm is ruled by a king: the fallen angel, Lucifer Morningstar, whose daughter and heir apparent is Princess Charlie. However, in spite of this version of Hell's apparent state of chaos, the realm appears to be capable of providing and maintaining rudimentary public services.
Hellborn demons of this realm have the ability to traverse across any of the rings, easily accessible via an extensive elevator network, whereas sinners-turned-demons are confined to the Pride Ring, by methods and reasons is yet uncertain. imps of this reality are considered lowest class of demons
Hell apparently suffers from mass-overpopulation which Exorcists from Heaven attempt to solve through yearly exterminations, which is a mass genocide of its inhabitants. It is presumed these are conducted primarily to reduce Hell's sinner population and it is unknown if the other denizens of Hell are targeted in the attacks. Charlie aimed to put a stop to this by giving sinners a chance to rehabilitate and redeem themselves by checking into her hotel and later ascending to Heaven or through alternative means to make Hell more better after the Challenge event.

Locations[]
Ring of Pride[]
The Pride Ring has numerous cities that are overpopulated by the countless sinner demons who are Sinners are confined to to Hell after their deaths on Haei'tuusik Earth. and can only exist in this ring, however, like the other rings in Hell, the Pride Ring is accessible and traversable by Hellborn species. The sky of the Pride Wring are red colored that shifts to have a dark reddish-purple hue at night. Also from this ring, the pentagram moon and Heaven are visible in the sky. Its full moon is a glowing orb with light swirling around it.
This ring experiences yearly Exterminations by the Exorcists in order to quell the overpopulation crisis and prevent an uprising from this version of Hell's Sinner population. As per Lucifer's pardon from Heaven, the Hellborn of the Pride Ring, and by extension the rest of Hell, are to be spared from the Extermination.

Notes[]
- This version of hell is the main setting of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss web series.
- The Challenge the entities give to the inhabitants of this hell is partly inspired by a Doom-Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss (Redemption) crossover by The Lone Lobster, or at least, the premise is, IE take a external force and more or less force the hand of the devil himself to try and make hell a (slightly) better place, although every element of this story is different from Lone Lobster's story.
- Canon is a bit vague as to how much a Hell year is compared to Earth year, but in this setting a Haei'tuusik Hell year is about four times that of its' Earth (and conversely, a Haei'tuusik Heaven year is also four times Earth's year), meaning Hell-born individuals like the IMP crew and the other Haei'tuusik Hell based sentient species are four times their ages when applied to Earth. Paradoxically, Hell, Heaven and Earth still follow one another regardless of the quadruple year length between the two, indicating that the three connected worlds have some of sort of time space warping effect and given its' status as a part of the Plains of Rebirth this is likely just one of the many ways the Plains influence over the two realms are felt and known.
