Sheol
'The mysterious 15th level of the World Dungeon', where Sheol Glass Reaper Cases are forged and sold by traveling Spider Reaper Minions, who also sell lollipops; a case can blast whoever opens it with the Sheol Fire spell.
The queen, the four princes, Demon Eviction and the tithe of souls: the pantheon.

By book
Sheol in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Sheol in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
Sheol in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
Named once, in the AI's account of the nine-tier attack: the celestials and 'their downstairs neighbors in Sheol found their destinies forever altered' (ch. 52).
Sheol in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Sheol's version of a Xanax, and no health lost while inside (ch. 2); the closer one gets to it on the fifteenth floor, the more demons leak up into places that have not been cleansed in a while (ch. 23); vorpals, the gods' deputies against demons (ch. 33); a spell that casts Sheol Fire around Carl, and immunity to its heat and lava (ch. 47). The warning: souls rain and Sheol overflows, demons flung upward who can return only by dragging a soul down with them (ch. 54); a queen and four princes (ch. 61); Sheol fire in Carl's hands (ch. 69).
