7 Hells - Layer Of Envy
Created by MeishaThe Layer of Envy stands as one of the seven infernal realms within the hellish dominion of Imeria, a realm perpetually consumed by conflict and resentment. The demons inhabiting this desolate landscape are driven by an insatiable desire to possess what others possess, creating a society locked in endless territorial disputes and violent struggles for supremacy. The grand palace of Phthonus, the current Archdemon of Envy, bears the scars of countless assaults and skirmishes, its architecture constantly undergoing reconstruction as battles rage through its halls and ramparts. The population of this turbulent realm remains impossible to accurately census, as demons are continuously slain in combat while others emerge from the abyss to take their place. Ironically, the neighboring Layer of Lust maintains meticulous records of every demon offspring born within its borders, a stark contrast to the chaotic disorganization of Envy's domain. The demons of this realm are notorious for their relentless raids upon the other six layers of Hell, driven by jealousy of their rivals' perceived advantages in resources, territory, and demonic breeding stock. Their envious nature makes them a constant threat to the stability of the entire infernal hierarchy, as they perpetually scheme to conquer what they believe should rightfully be theirs. The very landscape of the Layer of Envy reflects this perpetual warfare, scarred by impact craters and littered with the remnants of failed sieges and internal conflicts.

Landmarks
The Shattered Throne of Phthonus
A colossal obsidian throne situated in the war-ravaged heart of the palace, perpetually cracked and reassembled by enslaved demons. The throne's armrests are fashioned from the fused weapons of defeated rivals, and its seat bears the scorch marks of countless magical battles. Adventurers investigating this landmark discover that Phthonus uses it as a strategic war table, with battle maps carved into its surface that shift and change as the Archdemon's envious desires redirect military campaigns toward other hellish realms. The ground around it is littered with the crystallized tears of demons who once coveted this very seat.
The Covetous Galleries
A sprawling underground museum carved into the charred bedrock beneath the war-torn palace, where Phthonus has hoarded treasures plundered from raids on the other six layers of Hell. Towering vaults display weapons of celestial make, enchanted artifacts, and riches stolen from rival realms. The galleries are perpetually under siege—entire wings bear scorch marks and collapsed archways from failed infiltration attempts by envious demons seeking to claim the hoard for themselves. Adventurers navigating this landmark must contend with both the physical dangers of unstable architecture and the territorial demons who guard specific sections, each convinced they deserve a greater share of the collection.
