I don't believe I have ever seen any PF that directly references an Amarrian version of hell or the devil in their religion. Does anyone know of anything of the sort?

In terms of a "Devil" figure, there is "Molok the Deceiver", a historical/mythological figure who "was transformed into a sort of religious adversary in the Amarr mythology, coming to represent sin and disbelief."

Hell as we understand it, however, is a concept the Amarrians are not in tune with. There is a line from a mission, the speaker being an Amarrian who'd seen some very disturbing things.

"I wonder, are you familiar with the concept of hell? Even the most fervently spiritual Amarrians believe in Heaven yet scorn the concept of Hell as outdated - Hell, my people believe, is a state of mind. I am coming to think that this may be true."

The Bhaalgorn is also named after a child-devouring demon of Amarrian legend that comes for sleeping children in the night Twisted

The Amarr do not have a concept of Hell and the devil as is common in many modern day religions. When you die, you either go to Heaven or (if you are an unworthy sinner) you simply cease to exist. It's one of the reasons they take the Reclaiming so seriously.

I have the strangest feeling they're about to start the Reclaiming much more seriously... ah, the burden of being a modern-day prophet.

I wrote a story about a Bhaalgorn hiding under a child's bed :)

This is, I believe, in line with standard Jewish theology as well, which I find is a neat parallel :)
