Hell

Hell (also known as The Netherlands) is a world that exist parallel to Pisa Manama. Despite its name, there is no evidence to suggest deceased players, such as Sabrina and Bodglin, ended up here; the only known connection between worlds are the Nether Portals. Also despite what its nickname would imply, there are no windmills in the Netherlands, nor are there any dikes and it is impossible for water to even exist there, although the place is largely flooded by lava.

Discovery
Though Pisa Manama folklore has been rife with stories about separate dimensions since the early First Age, the first chronicled venture into Hell did not take place before the Second Age. The steps required to build the first Nether Portal were apparently known to Dixon, ruler of Catadonia, then a new face in Pisa Manama. His theories involving the construction of an Obsidian gate were first put to the test in Dixon Mine, a mine named in his honour and located below the Border Fortress, where most of the world's Obsidian was being mined at the time. King Pieter ultimately succeeded in constructing the first Nether Portal and reaching Hell, which allowed Pieter Kingdom a monopoly on Netherrack and Nether Bricks. This provided the basis for some new buildings in the area, most notably the Mara Tower and the third incarnation of the Border Fortress. However, the mere thought of being directly connected to "hell" made the inhabitants of Pieter Kingdom squeamish, and voices within the Kingdom soon called for the Hell passage to be destroyed. Though such extreme measuresthis never came to pass, King Pieter was forced to cancel some plans involving the mining for valuable Nether quartz (a material which ultimately would not see use within the Kingdom before the Fourth Age). Further exploration of the world was also put on hold and the King finally decided against construction of a settlement in Hell, instead focusing on earthly matters.

This left ample room for the sapling nation of Catadonia to make its mark. Soon after King Pieter's first venture into hell, Dixon oversaw the construction of the dedicated Hell Shell, location of the world's second Nether Portal. It was here where it was first discovered Hell had a very practical use in transportation, as distances in Hell corresponded to much larger distances in Pisa Manama. Claiming sovereignty in Hell, Dixon started work on the Ghastly Bunker, Hell's first and so far only permanent settlement. Though Pieter Kingdom made a grand return to the dimension in the Third Era, development of Hell almost came to a standstill after the second Portal was built. It was not before much later that Portal technology spread to other nations such as the USN and Aresas and more portals were constructed. Today, six Nether Portals in four nations connect to the Netherlands, five of which have been connected to the Hell Road Network.
