Hell, or the White City, is the residence of Devils.

The Book of Pilgrims

It is quite difficult for ordinary visitors to describe the White City, thanks to the Law-Furnaces constantly at work within;[1] sometimes, it appears as a book more than a city.[2] That said, we can say some things with certainty.

Hell is a walled city, with massive gates at its main entrance.[3] Between Marigold Station and the gates, the road to Hell is paved with white stones[4] (not, unfortunately, good intentions). The air is thick with smog from its Law-Furnaces,[5] but through the haze one can see the Square of Heroes and Martyrs, whose statues occasionally are left to crumble because "all things fall in the end."[6] Other known locations within Hell include the Clarity of Bells,[7][8] the Manse of Sacrifice,[6] and the Sanctity of Saviours;[9] the city also is known to have a garden and a greenhouse.[10]
