ZORK Images of Hades – Image and Information Source:
Hades (also known as the “Land of the Living Dead”, “Hell”, “the Underworld”, or “Kingdom of Decay”) is the final (usually) eternal resting place of those who have been judged by Eru’s holy standards as being wicked. Since nearly the beginning of creation, the Land of the Living Dead has been ruled by the pseudo-god Hades and his wife Persephone, who renamed it after himself. Hades is the primary abode of the Devil, also known as Belegur, following his fall; though he was able to venture to the surface of the world in the vessel of flesh. Minos is one of the judges of the dead.
This subterranean realm is a boundless, horrible desolation filled with fire leaping upward from unseen depths below, dwarfing the worst battlefield or urban housing project. The battlefield metaphor is most apt, because on one side, near the gate, are heaps and piles of dead bodies, all in varying states of decomposition. These are the last remains of less fortunate adventurers who dared to enter Hades before their natural (or unnatural) demise. During the reign of the Dungeon Masters, those who dared to defile the bodies quickly found their disrespect costing them their life, as the powerful guardian of the Dungeon of Zork placed their head on a sharp pole.
Even from without, the thousands of voices of lost souls can be heard continually crying out with weeping and moaning as each one laments its own, no doubt well-deserved, though hideous fate.
The hazy, bronze-colored Hades is paved with exactly the same kind of rock and chips of stone that are found in the tunnels of the Great Underground Empire. As if the G.U.E. was just an extension of this monstrous place or a kind of intelligence test for adventurers, and the dumb ones were required to stay in Hades through eternity. Although, unlike the Great Underground Empire, nothing smelled as potent as Hades. It is as though the rulers of the underworld contracted somebody to scoop up tons of rock from the passages above, soak them in some horrible solution until every stone reeked with a supernatural stink, and then they brought all that rock to the underworld and paved the place with it.
Other territories within this realm are the Tomb of the Unknown Implementor, the Plain of Constant Conflict, the Great River Acheron, the River of Terrible Fire, the River of Wailing, and the River Styx.
