Before the Gates were known, Heaven made a mistake.
In the aftermath of the War in Heaven, an angelic archivist named Iophiel is sent to Hell to catalogue its nine circles under divine authority. Guided by a Duke of the infernal hierarchy and watched by Hell's rulers, Iophiel records a realm rebuilt after rebellion: its armies, its asylums, its punishments, and its order.
But in the highest circle, Emptiness, the act of recording uncovers something Hell was never meant to remember.
Hidden within a sealed scar of stone lies evidence of powers older than Heaven and Hell alike. To recognize it is to trespass against creation itself.
Dark, philosophical, and inspired by Dante's Inferno, Gates of Hell: The Dying Light is a theological fantasy prequel exploring forbidden knowledge, cosmic secrecy, and the terrible cost of understanding what was never meant to be seen.
