infernal regions

Realm of damnation

The infernal regions are hell or the underworld—the realm of the dead or damned in religious and mythological traditions.

The phrase is somewhat literary or euphemistic, often used to avoid saying "hell" directly: The preacher warned of souls condemned to the infernal regions.

It may also appear in classical contexts referring to Hades or the underworld of Greek and Roman mythology.
