* {{Hell}}: The Second Kingdom is basically ''Darksiders''' version of Hell, complete with TheLegionsOfHell, horrific environments filled with fire and brimstone, and a pretty obvious {{Satan}} analogue ruling over the place.

* {{Hell}}: The Second Kingdom is basically ''Darksiders''' version of Hell, complete with TheLegionsOfHell, horrific environments filled with fire and brimstone, and a pretty obvious {{Satan}} analogue ruling over the place. Unlike most versions of Hell, however, it's not an afterlife where the souls of the damned go to suffer for eternity.




to:

* WretchedHive: Unsurprising, given that the Second Kingdom represents the side of evil in this setting. Though they are constantly at odds with the angels, Hell's inhabitants are frequently at war with each other as well, sometimes for no good reason. Outside of the constant carnage, they also delve into forbidden magics and keep slaves around, among other things. War even calls it a "pit of vipers" in ''Genesis''.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: So far, while he's been talked about, he hasn't actually been seen in person in the games are any of the promotional material. The one time he ''does'' show up is in the post-credits scene of Darksiders 2. But even then, we never actually see his appearance, only hear his voice. The closest we actually see of him [[spoiler:is in ''Darksiders: Genesis'', where two glowing red eyes are seen berating Belial after his defeat by the Horsemen.]]
