Hmmm --- I'm not sure that Praxians really have any concept of a hell.

The worst that can happen to your spirit, apart from being devoured by chaos and such, is (in my opinion) to become subservient to an enemy spirit of your tribe, forced forever to do its bidding as a slave.

Another hell-like existence would be to spend the afterlife trapped in this world as a roaming or haunting spirit, howling in anguish from being cut off from a proper place in the spirit world.

Another would be to become a homeless spirit in the wastelands of the spirit world, unable to find the way home, or cast out and exiled from there by the Spirit Chief.

Basically, I think that just as in Prax, being cast out from the tribe is the worst imaginable punishment ; so in the afterlife, any existence outside the spirit tribe would be like a hell.
