> [!etymology] > _Pandiaovolium_ comprises the Greek words _pan_, "all", and _diavolo_, "devil"; it can roughly be translated as "all devils". It is a twist on the word Pandæmonium, which is Lucifer's castle and the capital of Hell in [John Milton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton "wikipedia:John Milton")'s _[Paradise Lost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost "wikipedia:Paradise Lost")_. It's just that demons and devils are not the same in DnD... [[The Devil Emperor]] captures souls, and traps them in [[Pandiaovolium]] for consumption. This place is on a stable equilibrium between [[Materia]] and [[Ætheria]], in the inward direction.
