    According to Koji Fox, there were originally six hells, but it didn't sound as satisfying as seven.

    That meant there would be an astral / umbral version of each element (totaling twelve) and then one astral and umbral "pole" completing each set of 7, which also satisfyingly totals XIV.

    My favorite part is the Seventh Hell lore. Once you have suffered "an eternity" in the hell you were damned to, you make a pilgrimage through the other five to see the sins of others. At the end, you arrive at the seventh gate, where your heart is weighed. If it is heavy with repentance, your punishment is over and you are admitted to the heavens. If it is not, you are damned to suffer in the seventh hell forevermore.

    The Black Warden guarding the seventh gate has not gotten nearly enough mentions, imo, lol.
