Description
Ok, so next in line comes the burning city of Dis (Dite for latins) bordered by the River Styx (Estigio for latins
) I decided to make the river go through the gates so it would supply Phlegethon and keep the flow all the way from Acheron to Cocytus. Anyway, here drowneth those who lived their lifes filled with fury, and below them those commanded by sloth 
something like that lol. The entrance to the city is supposed to be heavily guarded since here is where Dante encountered the Furies and Medusa and had to be aided by an angel to go through

Fantastic work, once again
In a fic I wrote based off the Divine Comedy, I described Dis as having towering walls of burning iron. And the gates where basically like the gates of your typical fortified Medival city. However, there was also a long crossway that lead to the gates, over a seemingly bottomless, fiery chasm ^^ And across the bridge, the legions of the damned would mindlessly march through, to their eternal fate...

Sounds great, I kind of imagine it like the black walls that surround the wastelands of Gorgoroth, but made not only of dark iron but covered in massive statues honouring the heroes of Hell sucha as the Furies and demon lords like Lucifer and Beelzebub. Anyway, thanks again for the comment

I know. The book doesn't have the Hall of Gluttons or the giant dong tower.
