Editing The World of Aarn (section)

==The Afterlife==

Aarn's afterlife consists of nine and a half hells, and no heavens. These hells are not hellish by design, but because of bureaucratic missteps, it is quite difficult to find oneself in a hell one will enjoy. The hells are a satire of the[[Dungeons & Dragons]] 3.0 and 3.5 alignment system, with each hell modeled after one of the nine alignments. These hells are very much like Aarn itself, with only the immortality of the residents and the bureaucracy of the demons making the hells different than Aarn.

The hells are seen by mortal eyes as planets orbiting a giant sun, the dream of a sleeping god named K'tellos. If K'tellos wakes, his material identity will become a demifey, which will likely destroy the world.

Scattered amongst the planets and K'tellos's sun-like dream in the Astral Sea, there are hundreds of millions of stars, each star the dream of a sleeping mortal on Aarn.

===Demons===
Demons are the clerks of the afterlife, who created the nine and a half hells after the previous afterlife system was destroyed. They have knowledge of Earth, no access to magic, and follow earth religions. Their highly advanced technology is also based on earth science fiction stories, but all of their devices are designed with a retro North American 1930s to 1950s vibe.

Because of demon influence, technologies on Aarn that involve electronics, magnetism or chemical reactions are considered "demon technology" and mistrusted to the point of paranoia and superstition.
