The Boiler Room
While the boiler room is still very productive part of hell it is semi dormant nowadays with 90% in unworkable ruins. This leaves a lot of room for escaped damned souls and demon infestations. Devils hate this hell, it is an embarrassment to b kept here. Usually it is punishment for incompetent or criminal. Spies here are common with many factions reporting to other hells. Demons like it here and it is their favorite hell and the come ever more frequently. Migration is difficult for demons but worth it for work and what they think is awesome.  More illegals gated in by peers hide in the wastelands increasingly. Many rogue devils and exiles hide in the ruins also.

There is the theory that the great supreme devil actually wants boiler room broken and sabotaged. Others blame the legal ties to lawful good and the state of mostly peace with heaven.

Clowns are a popular subcult in this hell. By dressing as a clown you cut yourself off from other duties and lives and devote yourself to murder, mischief and mayhem. Some clowns are set free on earth to cause trouble. Most are damned souls already madmen and now wear the clown uniform. Clowns cooperate with other clowns while madmen kill anyone and are solitary mostly.

Madmen are spawned here often by selecting from millions or damned or tormenting human damned for aeons. Many are sent home to earth as crazed killers. Mostly solitary but some form a clan and find a secluded spot and eat folks.

Mad magicians among the damned have managed to live here also. They often do anything for money or spells or things their schemes need. This is why they are tolerated. Mad magicians also like to make monsters.

Sometimes there is a mass break out of madmen, clowns or damned into the hellbog.

Traps are a big part of this hell. The possibility that this hell is linked to many dungeons and has had kobolds digging cheap brick dungeons everywhere is troubling. Kobolds love traps and like to work hard and many work in this hell. Some mortal damned especially laborers might be turned into kobolds. Orcs rather love to fight and hell has legions orc soldiers and laborers. They can be made from humans damned easily and most prefer to be a orc in hell than a human.
