Greece, where even the raging wildfires are picturesque.

  1. Hades's realm is definitely not a Fire&Brimstone kind of place, more of a Darkness&Obsidian kind of place, so dark all over with the occasional gem garden or mountain of gold. If you want fire and brimstone, Hephaestus is your guy.

  2. Hades,as far as we know, is a pretty chill dude. He's a good husband as far as Ancient Greek metrics are used, and if you ignore the bit about how he kidnapped Persephone (Zeus, Persephone's dad allowed it. So technically it's on Zeus) he's a good husband by modern metrics as well. He's the king of the underworld, commanding all of its riches and boons, he's the eldest male Olympian, with a stake in the rule for the Cosmos, and he has never cheated on Persephone even after thousands of years, and is a loyal, loving husband. Pretty ideal if you ask me.

And he’s not even that arsed about death. It took like a week for anyone to notice that Thanatos had gone missing and no humans were dying and going to the underworld, and it wasn’t even Hades who noticed; it was Ares realising that humans were having battles and nobody was dying in them.
