The Underworld

Regular Forum (No New Posts) River Akheron
For the price of one coin, the ferryman Kharon will help the newly deceased to cross a river that divides the world of the living from the world of the dead. Paupers, the friendless, and those who were left unburied gather forever on the near shore. The far side of the river is guarded by Kerberos, the three-headed guard dog of Hades.

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Asphodel Meadows
These ghostly plains, filled with asphodel flowers, are where the souls of people who lived their lives of near equal good and evil rest. In its own way, it is an even less perfect version of life on earth - and beware; those who drink from the river Lethe lose their identities and become mere shells of their old self. Asphodel Meadows is a land of true neutrality.

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Palace of Hades
In the forecourt of the palace of Hades and Persephone sit the three judges of the Underworld: Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeakus. There at the trivium, where three roads meets, souls are judged, returned to the Fields of Asphodel if they are neither virtuous nor evil, sent by the road to Tartarus if they are impious or evil, or sent to the Islands of the Blessed with the blameless heroes.

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Tartarus
Tartarus was created to be the prison of the old Titan gods, but later became a dungeon for the damned souls. Some say it is surrounded by a flaming river and triple walls to prevent sinners from escaping. Tartarus is a guarded by a hydra with fifty black gaping jaws, which sits at a screeching gate protected by coulms of solid adamantine, a substance akin to diamond. There is also a pit inside which is said to extend down into the earth twice as far as the distance from the lands of the living to Olympus. At the bottom of this pit lie the Titans, the twin sons of Aloeus and many other sinners.

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Elysion
The Elysian Fields, where the pale liliaceous asphodel and poplars grow, are the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. Originally created for the mortal relatives of the king of gods, but now also for those who had led a righteous life, Elysion is a true paradise where their souls can enjoy an immortality of bliss.
