The Realm of Torment lies in the Mists, and is a realm that is part of the Underworld, ruled by Grenth. It is a place where twisted evil is banished. Its name comes from the fact that banished souls are sent here to spend an eternity in torment. This area can be seen as analogous to Hell in various real world religions. The various areas that makes up this place are uncharted as few mortals will ever see the opportunity to get to the area and leave it alive, hence there are no existing world maps — these are up to players to discover as they explore the areas on their own.

The Realm of Torment is where the fallen god Abaddon was imprisoned by the five gods of Tyria to avoid spreading his madness across the world. Chain with him are his creations including the Margonites, of which Lord Jadoth was the first Margonite gifted with magic. As punishment for their evil deeds the Lich Lord and Shiro Tagachi were also bound here.

Though originally meant as a prison for Abaddon and other corrupted souls, the Realm has become overrun by the god's influence. Though he remains trapped at its heart, his minions have all but overwhelmed the Forgotten wardens. As his madness and touch became more potent, souls of the innocent were also sent to this realm to prevent his power from spreading throughout the Mists. As Abaddon works towards Nightfall, the Realm of Torment and the world of the living draw ever closer until parts of the two begin to intermingle as the fabric of reality weakens.

[edit] Trivia

• Large magical obelisks adorn many of the outposts located within the Realm of Torment. The symbols scrolling on them are only artwork, and are unable to be translated.
