===Pre-History (December 28th, 2020-January 15th, 2021)===
The idea of Inferno began almost as quickly as the server of Devoted Hell was announced, with [[prawny331]]<nowiki/>wanting to start a nation that could tide him and his friends over until the next version of [[CivEx 4.0|CivEx]] came out. As Devoted Hell was aptly "Hell" themed, prawny331 decided to base his nation off of the description of hell from [[W:Inferno (Dante)|Dante's ''Inferno'']].There would be 9 circles, each a city in its own right with a Lord to rule over it, embodying each circle's
prawny331 asked a gathered selection of his old [[Far Seas Alliance|FSA]] compatriots if any would like to join, and several responded they would like to. Some disagreed, as they were playing rival server [[CivUniverse]] that launched around the same time as Devoted Hell. Among the people who were to become Lords were [[SwordMaster7777]], [[WNS2]], [[IKEA_FRIDGE]], and [[MrJeremyFisher]], the latter two coming from prawny331's realms nation of [[Otonabee]]. prawny331 himself would also be a Lord, highest among them all.
They then would discuss plans of how they wanted to approach building the "9 Circles of Hell" and after much discussion came up with an acceptable design. In order to properly know how to survive this new version of the nether, they set up a survival world and played on it for a couple hours to get acquainted with the new items and mechanics. The day they had this survival preparation also happened to be the day the trailer dropped, and so all stopped what they were doing to watch the trailer part way through the session.
===Getting Established (January 15th, 2021 - February 8th, 2021 )===

Prawny331 and SwordMaster then entered the shard, having met up at the northern border of B shard and subsequently working together to navigate the treacherous terrain. They had seemingly found another good spot on the edge of a crimson forest, though it was also close to where another nation, [[Mercer]], wanted to settle. They then proceeded to get murdered and pearled by a pvper from Mercer with an enchanted sword as prawny331 and SwordMaster were discussing the issue of Inferno and Mercer being too close with the leader of Mercer in voice chat, being the first people to be pearled on the server. They were quickly released and their stuff chested at the location, though prawny331 and Sword would have to randomspawn to find it again.

The first place Sword respawned after being pearled actually proved to be a near perfect location, and they decided that this spot would be where Inferno was to be located. Luckily, nobody else was settling nearby. Everyone then slowly made their way there, and after 6 grueling hours, all the first day players had made it. The first house was constructed by Sadie on one of the upper levels, with the other settlers carving a cave into a basalt cliff which would become the central base of operations, and pretty it up with wood from the surrounding warped forest, making basic roads as necessary. Nothing except the chests and the respawn beacon were reinforced, as the netherbrick reinforcement was bugged, requiring one netherbrick block as opposed to the item. Not wanting to waste netherbrick, reinforcing would generally be avoided at this time, unless it was valuable enough to be reinforced with gold.
Line 84:
International works would continue, with Inferno being one of the first cities connected to the inter-shard superhighway called the 2048, that ran the length of all four shards at x2048. An alliance was created with the nations of Mercer, Carbon and Alexandria, jokingly named newFRIENDS. The existence of this alliance was not publicly distributed, but the alliance worked together on major progression points, sharing important factories and the resources needed to create these. International trade also boomed with Greltam's shop, and as time continued and activity dwindled, Inferno remained the primary active nation.
Monthly movie nights were held to build the circles, and these proved a roaring success, single-handledly boosting player population on the server. Between these and regular recruitment, including a print commisioned from Archie <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/lgq6a2/you_begin_your_descent_into_the_first_circle_of/</ref> celebrating the circles of Hell, the addition of new players such as [[AvaniSpades|Kai]], iFab and PIC's Mokman would supercharge digging progress. This recruitment would result in minor raiding, with one such new player making the trip to Helios to raid, causing a minor international incident. The player, DREAM_150, would be pearled by SwordMaster and brought to Inferno's only trial, where he was sentenced to a week's exile pearl.
=== Clearing the Lava (March 20th, 2021 - Present) ===
Line 94:
=== The Lords of Hell ===
Lords have higher discord access and access to a common lord's bunker, and act as judges in the Infernal Court. Each lord is encourage to exemplify the particular sin of their circle. It was originally planned that lords are granted responsibilities that align with their circles, such as newfriend recruitment for Limbo, or running the militia for Violence - but this plan was abandoned early on. Each lord is described in descending order <ref>http://danteworlds.laits.utexas.edu/index2.html</ref>
[[File:
==== The Lord of Limbo ====
''Limbo--a region on the edge of hell (limbus means "hem" or "border") for those who are not saved even though they did not sin - the residence of the Virtuous Pagans and Unbaptized Souls.''
▲[[File:Circles.png|thumb|The 9 circles of hell as described by Dante's Inferno.]]
WNS2 is the lord of Limbo, taking this role early on in Inferno's development. WNS built the library of Inferno before going inactive to focus on his work in [[Amyr]]
Line 123 ⟶ 124:
''(In Heresy) Dante and Virgil see heretics who are condemned to eternity in flaming tombs.''
[[AvaniSpades|Kai]] would be granted the role of the lord of Heresy, as it remained unfilled for much of the nation's history. Kai would be a very active member of Inferno, contributing massively to both the excavation of the circles and government spending, from frequent deaths in lava.
==== The Lord of Violence ====
Line 160 ⟶ 161:
===== Upper Floors =====
The floors highest in the base contain the public factory, disco factory bunker and scattered housing. Here too is the temple of death, a structure built to contain ███ ██████.
===== Sadie Floor =====
