In most of the previous Traitor Games, banished or otherwise eliminated players were sent to Limbo (the major exceptions being Traitor Game V and Traitor Game VII). Immortus, the Lord of Limbo, however, was not pleased with his realm being used as a holding pen for eliminated Traitor Game players. And furthermore, the transferring of players to Limbo had caused an energy flux, leading to distortions in Limbo. This only worsened with the addition of viewing screens allowing people to communicate with those in Limbo.
