The Inferno Dominion (also known as Hell, Hell 2.0, or simply Inferno) Is The Realm that was created after the destruction of Hell. The Dimension was formed because of The almost overpowering screams of Ryker which inadvertently caused the creation of Hell. After he is sealed in The Darius Stone, he is freed by an unnamed entity and becomes the ruler of the realm.
All souls that were left within Hell are within The Inferno and reside here.
Pre-Creation[]
Before its actual creation energy of others were compiled into a giganting sphere. It would soon become an actual complete Realm and dimension when Ryker's screams were formed and was made into the new version of Hell after Bonnie Bennett destroyed it.
Creation[]
After Ryker is stabbed in the heart with The Darius Stone Sword and his lifeforce is absorbed into the stone, his body erupts into blue flames and he emits a powerful scream which is painful to the ears. This was so loud and full of power that it was enough to create enough power that it completes The Inferno Dominion (New Hell).
Appearance and Characteristics[]
The Inferno is described to be a place so horrible that even its own inhabitants fear and despise it. Only one demon, Jonathan, so far has been described to enjoy The Inferno. Angelica described Hell as not being able to remember who you used to be. Her earthbound life existed during the 10th Century - The 19th century and even with the plague erasing lives, she still desired the memory of the human she used to be. While possessing others she described it as a prison of "flesh, and bone, and blood, and fear," that one of the reasons demons return to Earth is because they themselves do not want to suffer the tortures of Hell.
Beyond that though, The Inferno is actually considered luxurious by some. It hosts incredible food in its upper areas and is not all bad. When Darius Salvatore asks Ryker the best thing about The Inferno, he says that "there are a lot of good things", although others confuse it with bad. In actuality the lower parts of The Inferno are the most destructive and eerie. In the upper-regions it is delightful place where higher demons can enjoy themselves and indulge in their pleasures.
Summary[]
The Inferno has multiple workers who greet those who are unfortunate enough to end up in the realm. There are things like generals and commanders who command the demons within the Inferno. When Ryker became the king of The Realm he is imbued with tremendous power and is "enlightened". It is also believed (similarly to Hell) that there is no escape from the realm. This is because when Ryker is asked by Leonardo Williams if anyone has ever found a loophole and escaped hell he states that he does not want to give him delusive contentment.
Demons[]
Demons are created when someone is so evil or vile that they become a different person entirely and turn into a Demon.
Exceptions[]
There are certain exceptions to The Inferno. Depending on where the kill originated from then one can escape being forced into the realm. For example if someone accidentally kills someone then they are excluded from the realm. There are a few other exceptions although these weren't elaborated upon.
