Tartarus

Tartarus belongs to the Infernum Galaxy. It's solar system only has four other planets.

Tartarus is mostly a barren wasteland with very little greenery. Life is nearly impossible for species who are not Demons, whose easy to manipulate DNA allows them to adapt to any environment. It has a shaky reputation on Terra, accusing it of being a lawless place that’s heavily polluted and filthy. These claims have some basis, but how bad can the native home of demons be?

The atmosphere is a deep shade of orange. There is no such thing as rain on Tartarus - dust storms are the most common occurrence. Technology and energy itself is fueled by demonic magic. Because it took Demons a long time to make effective technology and energy, the world is very polluted and the air is thick with smoke in mostly urban areas. The government is working hard to reverse the problem.

Tartarus is run like a medieval kingdom, with Satan being the King ruling over his subjects. He has many royal advisors who obey his every command. They’re also in charge of the different branches of the kingdom, such as the army and agriculture. Satan, however, handles all the riches. While there are written laws for Tartarus, mostly to allow Demons to immigrate to Terra, but they are very loosely enforced. The only “law” enforced are income taxes, and those who don’t pay their yearly taxes are sentenced to death. All these taxes, of course, go to Satan himself.

Planet Layers

 * First Layer (Surface) - All the demons from Tartarus live upon its surface. It features many different environments, including dry wastelands, volcanic mountains, and shockingly tall forests. Regardless, Demons dwell on every inch of Tartarus, able to adapt to survive in any environment. Only a small quarter of the planet is stable enough to build a civilization. These areas are covered in dense urbanized bustling cities. There’s no water on the surface, instead, water is sourced from underground aquifers. It is extremely dry because the plants had adapted to thrive on having little to no water or deep roots to reach the aquifers.


 * Second Later (Hell) - Early on in the universe’s lifetime, the God of Death and Satan made a deal. Satan gave the God of Death permission to put all the damned spirits in the second layer of Tartarus in turn for all of the spirit’s souls. The layer serves as the Bible’s depiction of Hell where everyone who was “naughty” gets sent to. The spirits sent here are tortured by Satan’s army for their crimes. It is a lava hellscape with medieval Gothic agriculture made of fire-resistant bricks.


 * Core (Satan’s Kingdom) - In the center of the planet is Satan’s Kingdom. Much like other planet cores, it is extremely hot and few demons can handle it. Satan’s castle is built on an island in the middle of a lava pool, and the only way to reach it is via a lava retardant boat. The bricks of the castle itself keeps out most of the heat.
