::Iblees was banished to the Nether a place of darkness and cold. Lit by cold blue stones the denize ns of the Nether were few. A large tribe of Pigmen lived in caves huddled around everlasting fires o n the ground. Evil souls who came here became floating ghosts constantly burning in pain. ::The landscape was full of snow and large pillars of ice flowing down into large cold lakes frozen.
