Everything you need to know about the half-blood world
Places
Camp Half-Blood is for half-bloods only. Mortals, keep out. Camp Half-Blood is located on Farm Road, 3.141 (notice, this is the beginning of pi, and pi is a Greek word!) in Long Island, New York. Here is a map of Camp Half-Blood made by none other than Percy Jackson:
There are 12 cabins. #1 is Zeus, who's color is purple; #2 is Hera, who doesn't have a color; #3 is Poseidon, who's color is blue; #4 is Demeter, who's color is green; #5 is Ares, who's color is red; #6 is Athena, who's color is yellow, #7 is Apollo, who's color is gold; #8 is Artemis, who also doesn't have a color; #9 is Hephaestus, who's color is brown; #10 is Aphrodite, who's color is pink; #11 is Hermes, who's color is white; and #12 is Dionysus, who's color is orange. There is no cabin for Hades. (The colors that go with each god or goddess is their sacred color.)

The Underworld
The big three are Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Hades is lord of the dead, not god of the dead. The god of the dead is Thantos. Hades is just ruler of the dead. Remember that. The Underworld is the place where you go when you die. In the Percy Jackson books it is under Los Angeles. (The city of angels, how ironic!) The Underworld is seen as different things for different people, so you might see heaven, or something like that. We have a map here, prepared by the one and only Grover Underwood, best friend of Percy, and satyr. Here it is, and don't blame us if the art is bad. Grover did it.
