An Explorer's Field Guide To The Nether
l337Ninja
Hell, or as mortals call it, The Nether, is a very dangerous place. Lava lakes that stretch for miles, fields of blood-rock burning forever, even the sand will try to drag you down into its cold, dark grip. The lost souls of the slain pigs come back to gain revenge. The spirits of mighty demons fly above to rain unholy fire upon a firey plain. If you want to survive, you must be prepared, both physically and mentally. Before you set off, you must, if you wish to survive, bring the materials neccesary to fight off the demons of Hell. You will need pure, untainted food, weapons of high quality iron or better, and a way out. Mentally you must be preparred as well. You should have your litanys ready for your journey into the realm of Iblees. For he will try to lead you to temptation, and if he can get that foothold in your mind, you are surely lost. The natural geography of Hell vastly differs from ours. The world is a giant series of caves, most larger then Kal'Ulduan in size and volume. The ground is covered in the blood of past victims and sacrifices to the Dark God. This rock is simply called "Netherack". The spirits of monsters long since slain in service to Him reside now in the mud, earning its nickname, "Soul Sand". This mud will try to bring you down into it, so that they may please their master with one more victim. The souls of the mud will appear to mess with your head, not focus on them if you wish to keep your sanity. The souls of pure quality, on the other hand, collect in bright stalactites on the roof of the caves, trying to get out. You may collect this stone to bring to the surface world. The most dangerous part of the Nether is the leaching of your soul. The long er you stay there the more your soul will bind to his realm. So you must always remember your way out, for it is your only hope of salvation. -Eliphas Faratul, Bidding you the best of luck.
