The Pride Ring is one of the seven Rings of Hell and is the first and topmost ring within Hell.
Sinners are confined to and can only exist in this ring, however, like the other rings in Hell, the Pride Ring is accessible and traversable by Hellborn species.[1][2]
Description[]
The Pride Ring has numerous cities that are overpopulated by the countless sinner demons who are condemned to Hell after their deaths on Earth. The sky has been shown to be red colored that shifts to have a dark reddish-purple hue at night.[3] Also from this ring, the pentagram moon and Heaven are visible in the sky. Its full moon is a glowing orb with light swirling around it.
This ring experiences yearly attacks by the Exorcists in order to quell the overpopulation crisis and prevent an uprising from Hell's Sinner population. As per Lucifer's pardon from Heaven, the Hellborn of the Pride Ring, and by extension the rest of Hell, are to be spared from the Extermination.

Trivia[]
- The realm may be inspired by the nine circles of Hell from Dante Alighieri's Inferno. While presented as the top ring in Hazbin Hotel, there is no circle of pride mentioned in Inferno, instead the first circle is said to be limbo. Pride is actually the first terrace of Mount Purgatory in the Purgatorio, part of Dante's Divine Comedy.
- The Pride Ring was the first of the seven rings to be introduced.
- This is the only ring to be seen in both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.
- According to the "Mammon's Clown Pageant" shirt merchandise, the Pride Ring has a location called "The Royal Circle".[4][5] However, it is currently not known whether the information listed on the shirt is canon in the show.
