5th Level of Hell
Wait a minute, I demand a recount. If I'm both lustful and wrathful, why am I stuck at crappy level 5? Level 2 at least promises that "sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions", which actually sounds kind of hot (for, y'know, an eternity of condemned misery).
Level 5, by contrast, is a total drag:
"The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx."
Damn. I'd better start being nicer and just stick with the lust and heresy instead.
