The 8th Circle of Hell is for those who commit Fraud. A series of ditches and trenches cover The Realm. The Souls who suffer here have committed various types of theft, robbing from others. They run a gauntlet being clubbed and beaten by Horned Demons on either side of the trench. No matter what the injury, they are magically healed – only to be beaten and broken over and over again. In other punishments, Souls are covered in excrement and are forced to fight one another. Should they have committed fraud against The Church, they are slowly cut into two halves – only to have these pieces rejoined, so they can undergo the torment over and over. Those who lied and deceived others also are tormented here.
