Editing Inferno (section)

== The Inferno  {{wll}} ==
The following is a short story that was written by a New World Computing employee and published on the now-defunct fansite "The Nether Gods".

:<div style="font-style: italic;">"My friends, in all my studies of [[Erathia]], there is but one thing that fills me with dread more than the silent, cold death of the [[Necropolis]], and that is the twisted, black-hearted evil of the Infernos. Foul creatures, ripped from the depths of the Hells and beyond, are bound into the service of the [[Demoniac]]s and [[Heretic]]s who call them forth. They serve unquestioningly, and without fear, but are always looking for the one chance to break free from their master. Fortunately, I have never actually seen one of these creatures loose.

:None of the creatures of the Inferno cities are native to this land. Because of this, there are few actual dwellings to be found. Instead, a great number of altars, halls, towers and pyres need to be erected in order to summon the Inferno's armies.

:The lowliest creature to be found here is the [[Imp]]. Honestly, they are like rats, and no matter how many times you think you have killed them all, more seem to appear. Through research I was able to determine that once an [[Imp]] becomes a [[Familiar]], it can create a dimensional rift within the city, allowing an even greater influx of these vermin.

:After the [[Imp]]s come the summoning halls of the [[Gog]]s and the furnaces of the [[Hell Hound]]s. Both appear in great numbers, though fortunately nothing near the influx of the [[Imp]]s and [[Familiar]]s. The [[Hell Hound]]s, when properly summoned, can not only take the form of a stronger [[Cerberus]], but in the best cases can also be summoned in greater numbers.

:As many of you have asked, there are in fact [[Demon]]s to be found in [[Erathia]]. They, along with the weaker [[Hell Hound]]s and the stronger [[Pit Fiend]]s, seem to make up the bulk of many armies of the Infernos. Strong alone, and deadly in great numbers, these creatures make even the holiest and hardiest of souls tremble.

:Yet there are two creatures that outclass those that I have already mentioned. The first, summoned from great towers, are the [[Efreet]]. These monsters bear a striking similarity to the [[Genie]]s, riding about on great waves of fire that always surround them. However, even the [[Efreet Sultan]]s quiver with fear in the presence of the purest of all evil creatures, the [[Devil]]s. Though they pledge their service willingly (for the right price, of course), it always seems like they come to this land for their own reasons.

:Fear these creatures, friends, for they represent all that opposes Good. So ends today's lesson."</div>
