'Hell' was a dark Realm, with volcanoes, flowing lava and burning fields. The air smelt of smoke and toxic plumes. A normal human would die within seconds, since the temperature was high enough to melt their skin.
'Heaven' was a bright Realm, with large floating islands, flowing clear rivers and fields of green. The air smelt of flowers and fresh dew. From the outside, 'heaven' looked like a perfect paradise. However, it was just as deadly as 'hell'.
