Sacred Afflictions

1. Lucifer MorningStar – Sin of Pride, The Devil

Titles: The King of Hell, God of the Damned, Founder of the Dark Realm.

The original rebel and architect of Hell, Lucifer is revered as a pragmatic, charismatic, and ruthless ruler.

He divided Hell into nine realms: seven dedicated to each Deadly Sin, and three reserved for the eternal punishment of sinners.

Despite his dominance, Lucifer has been absent from Hell for over 500 human years, leaving the realm in the hands of his queen...

2. Lilith MorningStar – Queen of Hell, Original Sin

Titles: Bride of the Devil, Mother of Demons, Sovereign of Shadows.

More feared than Lucifer for her calculating cruelty, Lilith rules Hell with iron resolve and surgical precision.

Under her reign, Hell has become a more efficient and devastating force—its influence on Earth has surged, its armies more organized, and sin in humanity has skyrocketed.

Though autocratic, Lilith listens—but only if she sees value in what is said.

3. The Seven Deadly Sins – Princes and Princesses of Hell

Each rules a realm named after their Sin, functioning as high nobility with power just beneath Lilith.

1. Lucifer – Sin and Ruler of Pride

2. Satan – Sin and Ruler of Wrath

3. Asmodeus – Sin and Ruler of Lust

4. Leviathan – Sin and Ruler of Envy

5. Beelzebub – Sin and Ruler of Gluttony

6. Mammon – Sin and Ruler of Greed

7. Belphagor – Sin and Ruler of Sloth

4. Dukes of Hell – Generals of Sin

Each Sin commands two Dukes, handpicked from among the Lesser Sins.

These Dukes act as generals, enforcers, and advisors, fiercely loyal to their rulers.

Even Lilith has two attendants—Lesser Sins who serve directly under her.

5. Lesser Sins – Nobility of the Infernal Realms

Demons that embody specific facets of sin (e.g., Vanity, Deceit, Arrogance, Obsession).

From their ranks the Dukes are chosen.

They form factions and political blocs throughout Hell, vying for power and influence, though always beneath the Deadly Sins.

These demons have gained immense personal power through consuming other demons or corrupting humans.

They do not hold political titles, but are dangerous lone entities or elite enforcers for Sins or Dukes.

More powerful than the average demon, but weaker than Arch-Demons.

Often seen forming cults, fighting each other, or attempting to rise in rank through schemes and strength.

8. Great Demons – The Fallen Human Souls

These were once humans who fell so far into sin that they transformed into demons.

Considered damned legends among the damned, they are rare but terrifying.

Some are former tyrants, murderers, or fallen saints twisted by Hell's influence.

9. Demons – The Civilians of Hell

The backbone of Hell's population—comprising 69% of all infernal beings.

These demons serve in various roles: artisans, torturers, soldiers, scribes, merchants, and more.

While mostly powerless, they're essential to Hell's functionality.

These are human souls who were condemned for their sins in life.

They are scattered across three specialized realms designed for eternal punishment and torture.

Unlike demons, they are not reborn or changed—only broken, endlessly.
