The Ring of the Slightly Damned is a location in the Afterlife. It is a barren place that is immediately outside of Hell. While a place for souls that don't belong in either Heaven or Hell, it also served as a nursery for Demon families.

Geography[]

This ring makes up the area outside Hell's Gate between the walls of Hell and the river Styx. It consists almost entirely of barren lifeless plains made of dark brown rocks and is mostly featureless except for the odd mound or hills with pinnacles.

Purpose[]

Soul Rehabilitation[]

This area is "technically" part of Hell but is generally ignored by most Demons and hardly any souls exist within it. Only souls who have committed slightly more sins than good deeds, but not enough to qualify for entrance into Hell proper, are placed within this part of the afterlife by Death. To date, the only known souls to be placed here were Rhea Snaketail and Seymour Sinclair.[1]

Cerberus can also be found in the Ring, just outside the Gates of Hell, but the only Demons present at the beginning of Slightly Damned were Buwaro and Sakido. Demons are free to enter the Ring during daytime, as Iratu is known to visit Buwaro on rare occasions.

Nursery[]

Prior to 15 years ago, this place served as a nursery for the Demons of Hell. Families could either group together with others or stay separate, given their nature and the normal living conditions they had to endure. However, at around the time Darius Elexion landed in the ring, his Angel companions have massacred many of the Demons living here, nearly wiping out an entire generation. As a result, the ring has been abandoned and likely hasn't been used since given the current circumstances.

History[]

Past[]

The Ring was more colorful in its past, as it was the site of many battles between Angels and Demons during the Great War. It was used as a Demon nursery up until 15 years ago, where Angels attacked it and caused the near-loss of an entire generation. The Ring was abandoned ever since, with few people counting it as part of Hell altogether.

Around that time, Darius Elexion ended up in the Ring, waking up after the fight was over. Witnessing the casualties of the war among both Demons and Angels, he'd end up taking Iratu, Sakido and Buwaro under his wing. They spent about a year in the empty Ring before they eventually met with other Demons, who had the intention to clear the Ring of any remaining Angel presence. After fighting and wounding Darius, the latter led his children into "real" Hell, claiming it would be safer for them there. Iratu and Sakido would enter in, but leave Buwaro behind.

Buwaro grew up alone in the Ring, sometimes visited by Death. At some point, Sakido left Hell and tried to get acquainted with her brother again, but found it difficult; she however made her home in the Ring, atop some rock spires. Throughout the years, Seymour Sinclair would wash up on its shores after failing to swim up the Styx towards Purgatory and Heaven, but promptly leave and try again.

To Hell and Back[]

After her judgment, Rhea Snaketail was dropped off by Death in the Ring of the Slightly Damned with her Demon supervisor, Buwaro. The both of them would be visited by his sister Sakido, and more rarely by his brother Iratu. Rhea's stay was mostly uneventful, as the Ring was a barren wasteland; Sakido expressed the wish to leave it and see Medius. She remained there for several months before Sakido put an escape plan in motion.
