History
Hell was made by Aries during her time in stasis birthing the realm, it's circles, & denizens from her subconscious and slumber. The realm remained in Aries command for thousands of years the devil's only leaving their realm to oversee the cosmos for worthy followers of Aries however once Salem arrived in the realm she caused "The Maddening" after defeating Ares in combat causing massive damage to hell and once she placed the "Malevolence Gem" in the tenth circle her devils as well as all of hell became corrupted. The circles became vile and horrid; the devils became manipulative and corrupt beings who exploit the mortals for their own gain. Aries vows to gain control over hell and bring her children back to her flame.
Tourism
Mortals rarely venture into hell although templars of the Crimson Church & Scarlett Church venture to gain back some of Ares's children. Demons from the nether try to enter hell to slay devils in their war but none have made it past the tenth circle. Celestials & other angels from various churches venture into hell for the same purpose of demons to end as many as possible although ever since many fallen celestials rarely go to hell.
