• There are many different types of demons that inhabit the Devildom, ranging from powerful archdemons to lesser demons and imp-like creatures. Demons typically have predatory instincts and crave chaos, evil and mischief.
• The Devildom has a mix of fantastical and dystopian elements. It features vast underground cities carved from stone, burning wastelands and volcanic scenery but also castles, palaces and institutions of learning.

Does this help paint a picture of some of the key features and characteristics of the Devildom? Let me know if you have any other questions! I'd be happy to provide additional details or explain anything further
• The Devildom operates on its own timescale, so a year in the Devildom may not be the same as a year in the human world. Time seems to flow differently between realms.
• Celestial beings like angels rarely set foot in the Devildom due to hostility between demons and celestials. Holy beings find it difficult to exist for long in a realm infused with darkness and evil.
• Magic is commonplace in the Devildom and demons wield their own unique types of supernatural powers. Sorcery and occult arts flourish but are tempered to some extent by Diavolo's governance.
• Pacts are frequently made between demons of different rank, granting power and influence in exchange for favors. However, great care must be taken to avoid exploitation by the demon one makes a pact with.
• Demons have a rigid hierarchical social structure based on power, age and influence. Lower level demons generally serve and obey more powerful demons. respect and favors are earned through treachery, deals and displays of power.
• The Devildom economy appears to run on what humans would consider "vice" - substances and services that cater to sinful desires. However sophisticated institutions also exist.
• While many demons embrace their evil natures, some aspire to overcome their instincts through wisdom, discipline and effort. However this goes against Devildom cultural norms.

SOME NEW IDEAS I THINK WILL WORK
• The Forsaken Valleys - A barren wasteland of volcanic stone tucked away in the depths of the Devildom. It is home to gangs of outcast and fugitive demons who live in caves amid sulfurous pits and steaming vents. The valleys are a lawless place where the weak are preyed upon.
• The Caverns of Lost Souls - A vast network of caves rumored to contain the lingering ghosts and spirits of damned humans and demons. The caverns are lit by a strange phosphorescent glow emanating from the mournful apparitions within. Those who enter often fail to return.
• The Labyrinthine - An enormous maze of tunnels, stairways and rooms carved within the immense stone columns that support the Devildom's underworld. It is said to constantly shift and alter its layout, trapping those who lose their way within its endless stone corridors.
• The Shattered Spire - The jagged remains of a once immense obsidian tower that pierce the fiery pit beneath which the archdemon Azhir rules. Within the shadowy alcoves and crevices of the spire dwell strange demonic beings and twisted creatures born of darkness.
• The Garden of Hellflame - An area of treacherous luminance and beauty deep within the Devilom controlled by the demoness Lilith. Marble walkways wind through fields of flames that burn with many colors, illuminating delicate structures, statues and groves watched over by damned souls trapped within.
●Here are some additional details:
-For The Forsaken Valleys:
• The outcast demons that inhabit the Forsaken Valleys have nowhere else to go. They were exiled or fled from Devildom society and eke out a hard existence in the inhospitable wasteland.
• Gangs control small pockets of the valleys, preying on lone travelers and each other. They skirmish frequently over scarce resources and hiding places.
• Strange and mutated creatures born from the volcanic vents roam the valleys, providing opportunities for demons to prove themselves through hunting.
• There are rumors of valuable artifacts and minerals to be found deep in the valley caverns, drawing prospectors and prospectors who often never return.
• The harsh conditions and constant danger imbue the valleys' inhabitants with a fierce independence and survival instinct, though often at the cost of their sanity and demonic nature.
-For The Garden of Hellflame:
• The architecture of The Garden of Hellflame combines ethereal, ephemeral beauty with structures wrought from demonic horns, bones and chitin.
• The trapped souls that wander the gardens silently act as custodians, keeping the flames burning in colors that shift from soothing purples and golds to searing reds and oranges.
• The demoness Lilith occasionally appears in the gardens as an alluring visitor to those lost within its enchanted precincts. She offers temptation but demands a high cost for leaving.
• Music haunts the gardens, ebbing and flowing with the colors of the flames. The source is unknown but seems to emanate from the soul themselves.
• Time appears to flow differently within the gardens, so minutes can seem like hours and visitors may emerge to find decades have passed in the wider Devildom.
MORE IDEAS--
•The Glass Forest - A mystical place where the trees are made entirely of enchanted glass that refracts the flames below the Devildom into a kaleidoscope of colors. Demons get lost for years wandering the forest's halls of light.
• The Spire of Bones - A towering ziggurat constructed from the skeletons of damned souls who failed to pay their debts to the demons. The wretched spirits are fused within the spire's masonry, forever crying out in agony.
•The Sulphur Sea - An ocean of bubbling yellow tar that blazes with an eerie blue flame at night. Strange creatures born of the chemical abyss haunt the waters, luring demons to a sticky demise.
•The Floating Stonehenge - An ancient ring of monolithic stones suspended impossibly in midair in a remote area of the Devildom. Dark magic keeps it hovering, defying both gravity and time itself.
•The Crimson Canyons - A network of narrow chasms carved by rivers of blood. They wind through grotesque sandstone formations that take the shape of spirits tortured within. Demons often get lost chasing the blood rivers to their source.
•The Vaults of Shadows - Millennia-old dungeons where the most dangerous and treacherous demons are imprisoned through magic and trickery. Those who enter rarely return and some cells stand eternally empty, shadows flickering within.
• The Rift of Lost Screams - A bottomless chasm that cuts through the Devildom. Wailing spirits plummet into its depths, their agonized cries echoing up the sheer cliffs for eternity. Legends claim those who listen too long are driven mad.
• The Weeping Fields - Vast plains covered in strange glasslike growths that seem to exude tears. The tears collect in pools that reflect only misery, drawing demons seeking to wallow in grief and self-loathing.
• The Cauldron Pits - Bubbling vents of magma that spit out deformed creatures born from a nightmarish blend of demonic and human remnants. The creatures creep across the surrounding wastelands seeking to fulfill whatever vicious purpose animated their creation.
• The Towers of Endless Climbing - Soaring citadels that only grant entry to those who scale their sheer walls. Many demons begin the climb only to fall to their demise partway, defeated by doubt, fatigue and despair. Those who reach the summit find the views tormenting.
• The Garden of Unmaking - A place where demonic magics run wild, causing living creatures and objects to deteriorate, decay and unravel at the seams. Those who linger too long risk coming undone like all else within the deadly garden.
• The Mourning Peaks - Snowcapped mountains that weep black tears day and night for the suffering of the trapped souls they were formed from. Their carved slopes shelter damned spirits seeking escape that never comes.
