===The Nine Houses===
The Houses are the building blocks of Hellish society; vast feudal nation-clans each of whom is led by one of the mightiest demons in Hell, an archfiend and contender for the title of the King of Hell. Demons do exist outside of these nine Houses, but such groups are small and socially weak, and functionally mirror the Houses in every way that matters.

'''House Astyanath''' is the House of Pain, a House enamored with suffering and torment to a level even other demons cringe at.

'''House Carthenay''' is the House of Coin, the greedy and miserly House who keeps the financial aspects of demonic society running through their position as the Bankers of Hell.

'''House Glabretch''' is the House of Disease, outcast and shunned by all other Houses, who find their love of filth and decay to be utterly disgusting.

'''House Haimon''' is the House of Death, a grim and stoic House fascinated by the mechanics of death, making them Hell's most prominent [[necromancer]]s and the only house to employ damned souls as a mainstay of their army.

'''House Jelac''' is the Lost House, destroyed to the last during a great civil war centuries ago.

'''House Lictat''' is the Tenth House, a rabble of minor demon clans that united together for mutual protection and who have claimed House Jelac's former holdings for their own.

'''House Oblurott''' is the House of Gluttony, populated by demons who have allowed the novel luxury of eating physical food to become an obsession.

'''House Riethii''' is the House of Desire, home to the largest population of malcubi and seductive deceivers in the Pit, trained spies and manipulators often overlooked by the other Houses due to their reputation as decadent fops.

'''House Sturrach''' is the House of War, a grim and brutal House dedicated to honing their military might, still yearning for the day when they will bring Hell to heel and can then swarm forth to conquer Earth and Heaven alike.

'''House Zethu''' is the House of Progress, the masters of sorcery and science.
