(There haven't been any changes, though most of your bannings are unnecessary as Gabriel isn't a Valyon or Ukiah. My post will be here in a little while. Expect references to your new Cradled Dawn , Fog of Dark Light, and Valyon's final battle at some point.)
All was in darkness for this realm.
Darkness would be the simplest description for those who were not familiar with the more intricate nature of the location. While the area was dark, it was not pitch-dark. The sky above housed an orb of light. When one thinks of light, an individual appraises sight and safety,. This bright orb did not radiate safety, but the oppressive and deceptive brightness of dark light. One could still see despite its harsh nature and the opaque obscurity.
The reason our attention comes to this locale of the past is due to a familiar figure to us. While there was seemingly no earth to stand upon, this being stood upon the blackness effortlessly. Closer inspection to those who could observe such things revealed that the surface could not be seen with the naked eye. This character whom we contemplate is known as the Field Marshall Gabriel. The Marshall's thoughts were not to his location, but to what was presented to him.
If a being with average detection abilities were present in Gabriel's location, that individual would see nothing but the dark light around itself. This difficulty had been circumvented by long periods of training his senses in all manner of ways. Even back then, he could still observe that structure which menaced an entire Earth long ago. A massive gate of metal towered within the vast dark light and reflected on the surface. Designs of menacing creatures of demonic origin would strike terror within the very selves that would be dragged into the depths of the Abyssal Plane, or Hell as the designation of this section would be named. Screams of terror and the howls of the hellion hordes which went out to war would forever echo within the Marshall's memories.
Yet it was not a total disaster. The armageddon has been stopped, and the gate had returned to its original position. For Gabriel himself, he had escaped with help from old friends who had infiltrated the Abyssal Plane's
Xibalbá and aided him. Through the rest of the Fogging, Gabriel assisted in the escape of others who had been caught and inflamed a rebellion which allowed the group to escape. Gabriel himself remained behind on the basis of a rumour on a subject of dear importance to him. Back to the present, Gabriel had returned as a form of pilgramage. Unarmed, he had traced backwards from his newest home to the locales of his past.
There is no need to enter this realm.
His self-imposed pilgramage did not require direct entry into the Abyssal Plane. It would have been a reckless danger to his being in comparison to all of the powerful beings that resided there. Without his weapons, it would have been a nightmarish trek that he could not risk at that time.
On to the ruin then?
With that, Gabriel vanished from that place

The battlefield: The city from Fog of Dark Light. Once a lively metropolis, Makyu's invasion has turned it into a cursed ruin. Once towering skyscrappers now lay abandoned, toppled and collapsed by Shadow Shenron. Hellfire still burns in certain sections, and the ground has become grey sand. The Hellfire increases the heat somewhat, but there isn't enough to simulate Hell's heat. No human being lives near that place in a radius of 100 km.
