Hellish Yard

he Hellish Yard was a realm in the Evillious universe. Located deep within the earth of the Third Period, the Hellish Yard became the forgotten and unused land of the dead with the absence of Levia. The hellish world's use was later revived by a new Master of the Hellish Yard.

History
At some point, the Hellish Yard was created and began exerting a pull on the human souls of the Third Period, with the ground world acting as a boundary between the realm and the Heavenly Yard. After the destruction of the Third Period by Punishment in the late EC 900s, the Hellish Yard began merging with the ground world, exerting a greater pull and drawing the souls out of the Heavenly Yard. The human souls then began residing in the Hellish Yard, creating illusions using the memories they created while they were alive. Sometime after, Allen Avadonia visited the Hellish Yard at the behest of Sickle and began reviewing the Third Period's history by meeting the individuals involved with the vessels of sin.

Configuration and Laws
Originally existing only below the Third Period, the Hellish Yard was largely barren, lit only by the fires in its bowels. Although established as an afterlife for the deceased souls judged sinful in the ground world, the Hellish Yard remained unused save for the few unable or unwilling to enter the Heavenly Yard. Individuals located within the bounds of the Hellish Yard could conjure "concepts" from their memories, the illusions capable of behaving as physical objects would despite the souls themselves being immaterial.

Due to the nature of the Hellish Yard with the heavenly world, the two exerted a natural pull on the human souls of the Third Period, with the ground world itself creating a metaphysical boundary between them. As a result of its merging with the Third Period, the Hellish Yard became a stronger force, pulling souls from the Heavenly Yard. Distortions in the fabric of space and time could also occur following the merge. Magic was also part of the makeup of the world, making anything theoretically possible for its users if given enough power and time to utilize it.

Ground World
The Third Period after merging with the Hellish Yard. It contained the continents of Bolganio and Maistia and housed the deceased souls pulled down from the Heavenly Yard.

Underworld
The bowels of the Hellish Yard. Situated deep within the earth, the underworld housed the deceased souls who refused to enter the Heavenly Yard or were contractors of the Demons of Sin in life. The rocky terrain was covered in great pits of lava and fire. It maintained gates leading into the area as well as leading directly up to the Heavenly Yard.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The Hellish Yard is connected to the event of Hell in Hieronymus Bosch's The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things.
