HADES
SHUTTLE SERVICE
Hades Shuttle Service is the name of the official organization
responsible for the transportation of newly dead souls from the entry
area of Hades into the inner realms of the Underworld proper. With Charon as the only employee,
this service operates from at least two different locations. At the
Dungeon of Zork entrance, newly dead are permitted to venture quite
some distance beyond the gates into the realm of Hades before admission
via ferry is required over the Acheron river, as opposed to the subway
entrance where any entrance into Hades is forbidden until crossing the Styx which is without the gates.w
The
Dungeon of Zork docking place, within the Hades gates, is around a bald
and barren mount of rock where the dreadful waters of the River of
Terrible Fire meet with the River of Wailing. The subway entrance
has significantly less traffic
compared to the congested Dungeon gateway where the boating service is
almost continuous. Thus the ferry at the subway entrance is only
present when summoned via the Hades Shuttle Service Courtsey Phone.
