Sheol

The demon realm whose evicted sons can return once the Demon Trap opens the way — and into which the Nothing now drains.

Story so far

Bautista identified Kimaris as one of the brothers of Sheol, with a summoning time listed as "the remainder of the floor," and warned Carl to be careful with him.

Minutes later, The Demon Trap fell into The Nothing carrying thousands of evicted demons and the power to open a portal back to Sheol, if only they could find something to latch onto. The trap deactivated, the demons were freed, the Nothing broke — and one of the three system messages that followed announced that the Nothing was currently draining into Sheol.

Role

The demons' home realm, cut off by eviction and now reconnected by the breaking of the Nothing.

Relationships

Kimaris — One of its brothers.
The Demon Trap — Carries the power to reopen a portal back to it.
The Nothing — Now draining into it.
