King Minos felt that eternal suffering was unfair and unreasonable for those whose only sin was loving another. After the disappearance of God, as the angels were lost and heaven was in chaos, Minos began his efforts to reform the lust layer.
The Lust Layer prospered, as King Minos guided its inhabitants to come together and build a new civilization. The combined efforts of the countless who have been damned to the lust layer bore great results as the grand city grew. Benevolent king.
