You are in Hell. The hordes of the Infernum fight bitter wars over these souls; the nine great Houses are delicately balanced and even a little extra strength could be the decisive factor that brings victory in the wars of Hell. Above the Pit of the demons hang the Lethe Clouds, which rob those who fall into Hell of their memories. Souls rain down daily, tumbling into the Pit to be hunted down and captured by hungry demons.

For an eternity, there has been nothing in the Infernum except constant war and constant suffering. Those in power grind those beneath them into the burning dust, while those below plot and conspire to overthrow their masters and take their place and all bow before the might of the warring Houses. Now, there is dissent and opposition even against their might, as the Free Cities declare their independence and threaten the hegemony of the Houses.

War is coming to Hell. Anyone, even a mortal, could conquer the Pit and become a lord of Hell. Conquer or suffer. These are the only choices in the Infernum.
