Purgatory Lore

1. #1Water

   Keys: water, greywater, aqua, Water

   Water in Purgatory is all tinged grey and tastes like motor oil and the soot washed off a parking lot. Drinking the stuff unpurified makes you forget things, and often causes headaches, though it won't kill you. Boiling the water removes this effect and makes it taste normal.

2. #2Scrape

   Keys: scrape, Scrape, Good-stuff, sheen

   Scrape is a byproduct of water purification in Purgatory. It's a blackened, oily paste that is, as the name implies, scraped off of purification stills. It often puts the consumer in an intense, long-lasting euphoria, but comes at the cost of a significant portion of their memories. Many scrape addicts become almost entirely blank, their identity scrubbed clean by the drug.

3. #3Heaven

   Keys: Heaven, Paradise

   Heaven locked it's gates long ago, though nobody can really say when. There's been no messages going in, and more importantly, nothing coming out. Nobody can even say if God is still there.

4. #4Hell

   Keys: Inferno, Underworld, Hell

   Hell has long since frozen over, but how this has happened is unknown. Hell is little more than an inhospitable, inaccessible waste. Many demons have fled to Purgatory.

5. #5Demons

   Keys: Redbacks, Demons, Spikeys

   Demons are...well, demons. Red-skinned people with horns and with an affinity for sharp metal objects, they tend to keep to themselves and have naturally abrasive and callous personalities. They are not naturally evil or cruel, however, and many demons simply wish to be left alone.

6. #6Fallen Angels

   Keys: Fallen, Fallen Angel, Tarnished

   The Fallen Angels are seemingly the last few angels to exist. Appearing as armored humanoids with blackened skin, the Fallen Angels steward over Purgatory and attempt to instill some form of law and order, though the letter of the law varies between bands of fallen angels. Many regions of purgatory are still lawless.

7. #7Food

   Keys: Food

   Food in Purgatory is strange, often resembling modern day processed, pre-packaged food but from brands nobody recognizes and in strange flavors, such as Axle Grease, or River Sand. Most of it is unpleasant, though nutritious, and very few food products have actually killed anybody even if their flavors certainly would imply harmful effects.

8. #8Greys

   Keys: Men-In-Rags, Takers, Greys, Greymen

   The Greymen are the native race in Purgatory, appearing as washed out grey humans dressed in ragged suits. They are slightly stronger than the average human, but are not invulnerable. Greymen are generally regarded as hostile and are known to kidnap lone travelers for unknown purposes. No matter how many Greymen are killed, more always show up.

9. #9Oceans

   Keys: Ponds, Blacklakes, Oceans, Greylakes

   Oceans in purgatory never get deeper than knee-deep, but go on for miles. Most landmasses are separated by shallow oceans. The oceans are typically populated with eels and blind fish, both of which are edible, if unpleasant.
