The Gates of Hell are Open
Article by, The Stalker

After over 8 and half years behind a password, Hell has finally reopened their gates. Thanks to the creation of the new frontier/governor system put into place, Hell has just appointed long time delegate and King of Hell The Stalker as governor. Freeing Hell from all prior security concerns and allowing the permanent removal of the password that had kept Hell safe for almost a decade. Special thanks to Sedgistan for pioneering this change that will allow a new life to so many historic regions.

Underworld has already begun merging into Hell. And lost souls from all over NS have begun to pour in.

In conjunction with momentous event, please join me in congratulating Premedite, Draconic Aiur, and Morbus as they all rise to the rank of Hell Elder. Long time residents of Hell and some of the very last to complete the trials to join Hell, it is an honor to have them join the rank eldership.

As the newly appointed governor, I’d like to take a moment to thank my fellow elders for helping us get here. I thank Cynical Alcoholics, the most senior Hell Elder since July 2003 and only other Hellion left who was once delegate of Hell and his long service to the region. I thank Donkervader, one of the first nations I recruited to join Hell upon becoming delegate almost 9 years ago. I thank Sathan, long time Hell Elder since December 2004. I thank Boolaroo long time Hell Elder since March 2004. I thank Yodoshi aka Daisy Johnson for her leadership of Underworld and devotion to the Hellion community. I thank Kyraina long time friend and Prince of Hell. I thank Altmoras as leader of the Horsemen, and all the advise and help with security he has given over the years.

I thank my former co-rulers, Freddland the Gatekeeper of Hell and Big Jim P the Lord of Hell, for putting their trust in me all those years ago to lead Hell, it is my hope they some day return to see the newly freed Hell.

And a shout out to Gehenna Primus, Demonos, Mrev the Dead Goblin, and anyone I may have missed. It was a collective effort to get here, and it is because of their and all the Elders past and present dedication to Hell that reopening the gates became possible. It’s been too long, and we’re glad to be back.

We hope you've enjoyed our special edition of Hell's Bells. Nations interested in contributing to future issues should contact The Stalker for details. Thanks for reading.

End of an era. You protected the region better than any native's ever done it for nearly a decade, despite legitimate attempts to break through. I'll raise a glass to that.

[Flanderlion]

A bit sad, taking away one of the things that made the region unique. Congrats - but commiserations.

[Roavin]

+1 to what Koth wrote. Congrats to Hell and well done!

[Sedgistan]

I'm pleased to see this happen. It wasn't part of the original Frontiers etc. project plan, but it was largely The Stalker's persuasion that got the possibility to switch/back to get a Governor included in it. Looking at the various other regions that have had to struggle behind passwords for years and are now a few days behind in the switchback process, I'm glad they've got the opportunity to open up without having to go through an extremely risk refound.

[The Ambis]

Congrats! Very glad to see this happen, and that all the functions are there.
