1st: Limbo, The Meadow of the Flock. An expansive dark field filled with the souls of the ordinary and inconsequential (like Asphodel in Greek myth). It is crowded and infinite, but is not populated by devils or any forms of punishment. This is the domain of Duxen, the Soul Shepherd.
2nd: Circle of Lust, The Helkin. A howling darkness of helpless discomfort. Terrible winds of a violent storm buffet this layer and its denizens are left drifting, aimless and without rest.
3rd: Gluttony, The Ibrem Sluice. Dominated by a thick, deep sluice souls must wade through, unending icy rains and black snow batter the surface. The devils of this layer primarily police the Halls of Hemmotelu and constantly devour and cycle the particularly indulgent souls inside.
4th: Greed
5th: Wrath, The Iron City of Dis. The layer is synonymous with the city, as the sprawling metal metropolitan area expands outward in all directions. In the center
6th: Circle of Heresy
7th: Circle of Violence, The Plain of Fire
8th: Circle of Fraud, Malebolga. This circle is dominated by vast hot sands with endless ditches or bolga (singular bolgia). It is here that the most violent and ferocious of devils punish their underlings without restraint or refuge.
9th: Circle of Treachery, Barathrum.
