The Netherworld is void, the Netherworld is real.
This is an inter-dimensional prison, imprisoning exiles from countless worlds.
It is a place of filth that the power of the gods refuses to touch, a life-forbidden zone where even the power of demons hesitates.
No one wants to come here voluntarily, yet many decide not to leave once they arrive.
The residents of the Netherworld never consider themselves prisoners; they pride themselves on being called Free People.
As long as they don't leave the Netherworld, it is the freest place in the world.
The Netherworld has only a few basic rules to ensure the residents' freedom of action; there is no government, no police, no military, only places for trade and debate.
Of course, the rules for debate here are simple: might makes right.
