Violence (from "Dante's Inferno")

"O blind cupidity, O wrath insane,
That spurs us onward so in our short life,
And in the eternal then so badly steeps us!"

- Canto XII, Lines 49-51, Inferno

I figured I'd get in a hellish mood this holiday season and whip up a Dante's Inferno inspired Worldbox map, which isn't something I've seen yet on this workshop.
The circle of Violence particularly intrigued me because a lot of the imagery and stuff that happens within it stuck with me more than the other circles, though every circle in the Inferno I think is equally interesting in one way or another.
Also, Ultrakill, possibly the one of the best adaptations of Dante's Inferno we've gotten in the past century, released its take on the Violence layer and it's become my favorite level in the whole game so far.

In accordance with how Violence is divided up in the Inferno, this map is divided into three separate geographic sections:

The Violent Against Neighbors: The boiling blood river Phlegethon, recreated with lava in this map (the most tedious part of making this map, honestly).

The Violent Against Themselves: The Forest Of The Suicides. I placed a mountain range going through the forest to visually spice it up a little.

The Violent Against God - The desert plain. I did my best to make this one look interesting. In the poem, this section has flames raining down upon the sinners who inhabit this area, so I guess a few volcanoes fit in here.

A small bonus; at the very bottom of the map, you can find the Minotaur living on a small island in a lake of lava.

I hope you enjoy! I may try my hand at some of the Inferno's other circles if there's interest.
