In opposition to the demonic forces of Satan, the Council of Godheads has established kingdoms within the Underworld, where the sinners of non-Abrahamic faiths are punished by the deities and demons of their own religions and theologies, such as Osiris, Hades or Izanami. Various non-Abrahamic deities are believed to rule over various sectors ofВ the Underworld and Hell.

The Underworlds of various mythologies have also become part of the modern conception of Hell. However, Hell can also be seen as a metaphor for a life without God (or other benevolent force) and some religions do not see Hell as a physical place but rather a state of mind caused by sin or darkness. Those sentenced to Hell must endure an eternity of hellfire while also being tormented day and night by the minions of Satan. In Christianity the suffering of hell is generally envisioned as hellfire, which is a type of spiritual flame that is capable of burning the very soul of those who committed wrong and caused grief in life. Hell is said to be so terrible that even demons despise it with many losing their sense of self and become nothing but mindless spirits. Hell is believed to be a realm larger than the human world, housing a myriad of different regions or kingdoms where various demon lords and devils rule much like the global hierarchy of Earth.

Hell is described as the most terrifying, horrible plane of existence where the wicked and sinful are punished for eternity (or at least for immensely long periods of time) for their sins and often in the most horrific of ways.
