DIMENSION OF PAIN, a realm of eternal agony for mortal men. Ruled over by Lord Horribus, the Dimension of Pain is populated by inept demons who mainly enjoy torturing and maiming those unfortunate enough to be transported there. Since visitors are extremely rare, the demons usually just play whip-poker or "Kick the Squeekybobo Ball."
The Dimension of Pain was created long ago by a powerful demon king who expelled the Goddess of Goodness from the Dimension of Cuddly Kittens. He then bagged up all of the remaining good into a cheap zip-lock bag, tossing it onto the bottom rack inside the Fridge of the Heavens. The bag later leaked, releasing some good and creating the Sacred Circle of Protection. The Sacred Circle is the one place no demon can enter, safeguarding a small dimensional pinhole to our world. The demons currently await the Evil Super Mop of the Heavens, which will absorb the Sacred Circle and enable access to the pinhole. Delivery is estimated in 4 to 6 eons.
The Dimension of Pain is occasionally besieged by the Three Dragons of Annoyia, giant creatures capable of adorning everything they breathe on with sweet smelling flowers. They were a nuisance to both good and evil, and eventually overtaken by a powerful wizard who cast them into an eternal slumber. One of the dragons was awakened but later found to have a glass jaw. A group of demons then set out to awaken the other two in order to alleviate their boredom.
Visitors are advised against traveling to the Dimension of Pain, since all mortals who visit are subjected to intense torture, including hooks, spikes, piercing and shredding of skin, electrocution, stretched limbs and whipping. The only mortal to ever withstand the torture and escape is Torg, now visited every Halloween by agents from the Dimension of Pain intent on killing him and recapturing his soul.
