	The leader of the Cenobites is of course the one demon in Hell that even the Devil himself fears. The Hell Priest, [[Xipe Totec]], who has authority over all the damned souls of Hell and has been known to even take members of the Hell Council should he find them guilty of needing his unique services.

		+	===The Infernal Hierarchy===
		+	There are many different types of souls who reside in planes of Hell. While there are many different names for each type the Hierarchy of Hell can be separated into the following types. In some cases multiple names are listed as some will venomously refer to themselves as one name over another thus it is wise not to use any these terms unless you know exactly the preference of those you use it to describe.
		+
		+	'''Old Ones/Elder Gods''' - The beings that existed in the time before and corrupted the Angels of Heaven into rebellion<br >
		+	'''Forsaken/Archons''' - The Angels cast out of Heaven. Oldest and most powerful of those in Hell<br >
		+	'''Devils/Archfiends''' - Those born in Hell of Noble stock (descended from the Archons)<br >
		+	'''Nephilim/Fiends''' - The bastard children of Devils and Demons, often mistaken for demons because of inherited traits<br >
		+	'''Demons''' - Corrupted Human Souls or those created by the minds of men through misplaced worship, often have off-color skin or other non-human features<br >
		+	'''Succubi and Incubi''' - Fiends which take ideal human forms to seduce mortals<br >
		+	'''Daemons''' - The driving inner forces which guide humans and exist just beyond the mortal realms. These are released upon death and are often the cause of reported hauntings<br >
		+	'''Familiars''' - Imps which have been bound to servitude<br >
		+	'''Imps/Hellions''' - Infants and small animals sent to Hell with no moral upbringing or ethical development<br >
		+	'''Damned Souls''' - Mortal souls cast to Hell for various reasons<br >
		+	'''Lost Souls''' - Souls which have lost all connection and identity to their former mortal life<br >
		+
		+	Due to the egos of the those which reside in Hell, each type of being on the Infernal Hierarchy tends to think themselves the better of the those below them. This class system goes out the window when Cenobites are included into the picture as they serve the Elder God Leviathan directly and by extension outrank almost everything on the list - including some members of the Hell Council.

-Twisted's Hell became one of the first examples of worlds '''merging''' together on Twisted. It was formed when various alternate versions of Hell began to overlap. The demons and the dead were in chaos and no one was sure what to do or how to react. That is of course until [[Senior Diablo|Señior Diablo]] took control. Diablo set up the [[:Category:Hell_Council|Hell Council]] to oversee and govern the newly combined Hells. The Council was granted seven seats representing different areas or aspects of this new Hell. Now unified and following a unified goal, the Hell Council began to encourage worlds to connect and merge deliberately with the idea that these worlds would merge eventually on their own and speeding up the processes would simply allow them to control how the end result came out. This outlook was a constant source of conflict between Twisted's Council and the Hell Council as the two never saw eye to eye over the matter, neither did the idea that there were innocent souls in Hell who had arrived due to merging worlds and did not belong. This eventually led to the war between the two Councils that nearly destroyed Twisted.

-Here, save for red skies, there's very little to warn someone of their dammed location. The terrain will go on forever and scattered all around are abandoned cities. The cities are in good repair and the shops are even fully stocked, but you'll not find a single soul to be found in them. As [[Senior Diablo|Señior Diablo]] would explain, the dammed are constantly building and abandoning these structures trying to stay in view of the sun-like orb that travels across the skies. The orb is actually a giant eye and the self absorbed feel attracted to it trying to always keep the center of attention. It's best not to pay these types much mind.

 Beneath the cities are various tunnels and sewers which all fall into a dark, black abyss. There the most basic of scaffolding exists from the poor souls who've tried to climb up or down through this layer of the Hells. It is extremely dangerous and falling will plunge one into the infinite nothingness for all time. But if you insist on continuing...

 Considered the literal heart of Hell is the Heart of Chaos. A large round chamber with roads that snake along the walls all looking up at a giant beating heart, or a skull, or an eye, or whatever else it wants to be at this moment. As it is the Heart of Chaos it is always changing, always shifting. This is considered a highly spiritual area and all damned souls pass through here eventually. Along the roads here are the temples of worship for those who form the Council of Hell each plucked from their own minds and made real in more ways than one. However, there is always another layer below.

 If using [[the Waiting Room]] as your point of entry, characters will first find themselves having to pay the Oarsman to cross the River Styx. The river cannot be crossed by any other means. From there they'll find themselves in the endless Wasteplanes, the third layer of Hell. Purgatory rests above them with the Astral plane above that. These are of course more overlapping than literal, but demons like bureaucracy. From here down things get very literal.

 Many people have come to believe that Hell is more than just a name. It is a world similar to Twisted that actually connects and combines the various Hells of the multiverse into a singular realm populated by demons and the undead. Evidence of this exists in the form of the [[The_Waiting_Room|The Waiting Room]] where no specification exists between the afterlife and the realm where those banished from Twisted resided. While we're assured that this isn't the case and that this 'Hell' realm is just a colorful nickname; descriptions of demon cities, torture, and a massive underground labyrinth have been spoken of in hushed tones by those 'innocents' which Diablo has freed. Infact, looking up members of the [[:category:Hell_Council|Hell Council]] in the kiosk database reveal that-
