Seventh Level of Hell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river
Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The
violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless
mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those
who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level
is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with
twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their
bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul
birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is
scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are
showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies.
Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to
lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who
followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.
