Fun with worldbuilding
Since I'm too lazy to actually work on the greater guide, I thought I'd post some of the stuff that relates to basic life in hell. Stuff that even Colquitt knows. ^^;
Most of the words would be standard for demonic kanju (the standardized demon language), though I'm sure there's variances in other languages. Some of the words were given to the demons by the devils, others weren't.
The (Most Important) Devils
These are in their proper order. However, Sevitsuna is so (relatively) new that she doesn't actually have a number, so those listed afterwards are technically one higher than listed. Thoriphei was killed by Mugendie.

Days of the Week

Basic Numbers
---
Months of the Year
Note: A year in hell is 400 days long, and is divided into 10 equal length months. There are 50 8-day weeks in a year.
"Nawl" means month.
---
Basic Colors

I could go on about more stuff, but that's enough for today.
Today's date in hell:
Riadaen, 36 a'Dienawl, Cycle 88, Year 168332.
If you're bored, though, I can convert your birthday to the hell calendar. ^^; (Need day, month, and time of day.)

- Kurnawl (Meaning "first month of the loop")
- Arunawl (named for A-A)
- Emynawl (named for Videmy)
- Dienawl (literally, fourth month. It's bad luck to relate this month to Mugendie.)
- Llodnawl (festival month. not the whole month, but the blue lava festival [hell's biggest "religious" festival] is at the end of this month)
- Odvinawl (prayer month)
- Riadnawl (Meaning "rain month". It's usually the only month it rains in hell, and only in the western district.)
- Awtnawl (meaning is forgotten. Often called "Sevinawl" by demons, as the demon equivalent of valentine's day is this month.)
- Soinawl (literally, ninth month)
- Itsunawl (Meaning "last month of the loop")
