I also drew a hint of inspiration from The Elder Scrolls, specifically the Daedric realm of Sheogorath, with two of the seasons of Pandemonium named after the two regions of his realm and carrying roughly the same ideas with them. Hell is of course inspired by The Divine Comedy in a way. In case anyone is, um, wondering, Arkturus and Silvikk, who both die after a long life together, wind up in Hubris and Envy, respectively, though Silvikk gained passage to Hubris herself eventually.
