Well hey guys. Been a while since I've posted. My Junsereig series is going well so moving away from that. On to another thing.
My English class is reading Inferno (one of my favorite pieces of literature of all time) and we have been tasked with an interesting assignment over spring break; create our own Inferno and bring it to life. Write about it, cast people into it, present it, ect.
I have my Hell as Yoltrund, the Kaiyumian World of Eternal Torment and Crude Sinners. Yoltrund is a twin of Inferno in the idea that sinners who are driven out are judged by their sins and are forced to be purged of them. Except, with Inferno, you can either purge yourself and move on to Purgatorio, or be saved by one in Paradiso. (a common example Dante provides is Judgement Day.) In Yoltrund, to sin to the point to go there, you will never be purged. Yoltrund was actually designed for gods rather than humans so there is no escape whatsoever. (the sins are so bad that at the entrance, there is a river called Keter and it is made by the tears of those who have suffered by the sinners. The sins committed were so bad that the tears are full of hate and sorrow to the point that anything that goes into the crystal clear waters is stripped violently of its flesh.)
There are a total of 11 sins that will end you up here. The Seven Deadly Sins are seven of them, but in order to end up in Yoltrund instead of Inferno is that you have committed these sins to the point where Inferno dares not to take you. In order from least offending to most offending (which is the order these sins are punished), these sins are
-Indecisiveness (crooked or fickle sinners go here)
-Incontinence (sinners who are so foul that no other Hell will take them)
-Pride
-Wrath (Towards self, towards others)
-Envy
-Gluttony
-Sloth
-Greed
-Lust (of self, of others)
-Rape (of the body, of the mind, of the soul)
-Betrayal (of self, of others, of the Gods)
The set up and the punishments are set, but now I need people to populate these places. This is highly morbid, I know, but I'm not sure what else to do. I've already added some characters from myth and some others from my own works. Only like 2 people so far are real. I'm taking suggestions of who will go, but not everyone will go. I would prefer the person dead, but if they're alive, then I'll make do. We'll see how this goes.
Also, should I plan to go through with keeping this story, are there any publishers known who would publish such a morbid thing?
