Infernal Realm

Connections

  • Onyx’s escape from the Infernal Realm was grueling and perilous; Knowing that it meant her own return to the Abyss, she allowed the Castle Batavia to fall; she hopes Valhalla is her eternal escape from The Pit

Context

Also called the Abyss and The Pit. This is certainly where the "hellmaw" beneath Castle Batavia leads. What's interesting about this is the Brawlhalla universe seems to have multiple sources of demonic creatures. Makes sense, though, if there are multiple afterlifes such as Valhalla and Elysium. 

Other "demon realms" mentioned elsewhere in the lore include the Twilight Realm where Hattori went to rescue her sisters, and Gehenna (from Zariel's lore). There's also the realm Belzar (Ikruski god of death and volcanoes) comes from. We don't yet know where the demon from Cross's coin comes from, either. Perhaps there is some overlap there. After all, Cross has that demon coin and the Gauntlets of Belzar. Maybe Belzar or that demon come from this Infernal Realm. Maybe the Infernal Realm is related to or is identical to Gehenna. 

Regardless, it is clear that just as many pantheons exist (as evidenced by Nix's lore), so too do multiple realms of demons and devils.
