Exploring the seven hells...

[Ubersuberuber]

It would be a bit of an interesting twist that the seven heavens were based on a real thing (albeit not an afterlife), but the seven hells were a total fabrication.

I really hope they're based on something, because yeah, its definitely kinda underwhelming the reality of the twelve and their domains not really being real because so many aspects of the world are based on the perception and prayer of people it'd be crazy if there was something those prayers were truly founded on...

Also when Asahi drags Amon to super hell or wherever, like what deep dark part of the aetherial sea could that have been... Like I want more of that yaknow?

Also it just begs the question of how Hydaelyn, thus Venat, got a grip over the aetherial sea cuz idk if they ever elaborate on that? Especially considering the underworld is Emet-Selch's domain... so then what exactly is the underworld if things go beyond the aetherial sea...?

My read on Asahi and Amon was basically that no, he didn't drag him to a specific place, it was basically going 'we'll reincarnate eventually, but I'm gonna make you suffer until we do'. Somewhere in a corner of the Aetherial Sea, Asahi is kicking Amon in the face forever.

And I don't actually think Hydaelyn had any control over the aetherial sea at all, she was just... down there. Which yeah, plausibly means that Emet-Selch could've gone to find her and therefore raises the question of why he didn't, but they also never bothered freeing Zodiark; it might just be that it wasn't really worth bothering.
