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.

First appears: Book 2

Series arc

As of book 8. The fifteenth level, named on a Reaper Case in book 2 and a brick in book 3; in book 6 a place with a queen and four prince-sons as good as gods, a harem banished to the Nothing and demons leaking up into uncleansed places; in book 7 a brother named Kimaris and the Nothing draining in. In book 8 the AI says it segregated itself and cannot see in, Emberus's presence grants a temporary immunity to its attacks, and it is where the casino's stasis portal really leads: Louis, Chris and Britney wake there in the epilogue, with Forkith's welcome.

By book

Sheol in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

The mysterious fifteenth level of the dungeon, named on the Sheol Glass Reaper Case that holds the Kimaris figure — forged in its fires by traveling Spider Reaper Minions who also sell lollipops, with a 1.5% chance of Sheol Fire on opening (ch. 24, ch. 25).

Sheol in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

Sheol MILFs who keep the hottest fires; Lesser Demon stillborn that harden into Sheol Bricks, which 'the 15th floor will be lousy with' (ch. 14); a Sheol Glass Reaper Case that once held Kimaris and now holds Carl's Doomsday Scenario (ch. 29).

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).

Sheol in book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

A drum kit with a demon and a potion that tastes of sulphur and worms (ch. 4); Sheol fire from Containment Breach traps (ch. 68); Kimaris one of its brothers (ch. 87); the Nothing drains into it (ch. 87).

Sheol in book 8 — A Parade of Horribles

Near Emberus, Carl is granted a temporary immunity to Sheol-based attacks (ch. 95); the AI says Sheol segregated itself and it does not know what goes on there (ch. 94). It is where the casino's stasis portal really leads: Louis, Chris and Britney wake there (epilogue).
