Netherworld/City Of Pain
Created by Lord of Darkness666The City of Pain stands as a manifestation of collective human suffering, a twisted realm where agony takes physical form. The landscape itself is treacherous—streets are carpeted with jagged glass shards and razor-sharp blades that slice through flesh with supernatural keenness, while towering structures constructed entirely from corroded, blood-stained metal blades loom overhead, constantly groaning and collapsing in a perpetual cycle of destruction. Interspersed throughout this hellscape are countless contraptions of torture and execution—rusted guillotines with ancient bloodstains, mechanical devices designed to lacerate and pierce, and arcane apparatus that systematically break bones and tear tissue with methodical precision. The mysterious entities known as the Inflictors patrol these nightmarish streets, hunting captives to subject to endless cycles of torment, carefully allowing wounds to heal before reopening them anew every twenty minutes. Those who survive such horrors long enough may seek elevation within this hierarchy by proving themselves to the Inflictors—a path requiring them to inflict maximum suffering upon other wretches under watchful eyes, then enduring their own brutal trials: mutilation of the tongue, ten ritualistic lacerations, and an hour of survival within the razor-sharp buildings. The City of Pain operates as both prison and proving ground, where suffering is the only currency and death the only true escape.

The Crucible of Ascension
A towering structure of interlocking rusted blades and surgical steel that spirals upward through the City of Pain like a grotesque monument. This is where those who wish to become Inflictors must undergo their brutal trials. The structure contains three distinct chambers: the first forces candidates to navigate blindfolded through corridors lined with razor-sharp serrated edges while inflicting precise cuts upon bound victims below; the second is a sealed chamber where candidates must survive surrounded by slowly descending blades for one hour while their tongues are severed as a test of silent endurance; the third is a observation platform where the current Inflictors judge whether the candidate's inflictions were sufficiently creative and agonizing. Those who survive emerge scarred, tongueless, and bearing the mark of the Inflictors—a ritual brand burned into their flesh by the Crucible's heated blade walls. The structure constantly hums with the screams of those being tested, and the ground around it is stained black with centuries of blood that never fully dries in this nightmarish realm.
The Ossuary Forge
A colossal structure at the city's heart where shattered bones of countless victims are fused together with molten metal and glass to create new torture apparatus. The Ossuary Forge is a workshop of perpetual construction, where the Inflictors design and assemble their instruments of suffering. Massive furnaces burn with sickly green flames, and the air shimmers with heat and toxic fumes. Adventurers who venture here may discover the blueprints for the city's machinery, learn the weaknesses of the Inflictors, or find remnants of consciousness trapped within the bone-metal amalgamations—whispers of those who came before, offering cryptic warnings or false hope to escape this nightmare realm.
