Sodom
A city in the vale of Siddim,1 ruled by Bera, the villain.2 In the Bible, it was destroyed by God, along with Gomorrah, because of it was full of moral corruption and evil.3 This city and its destruction are frequently alluded to in Scripture.4
The five cities of the plain were Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim, and Zoar. The first four were consumed by fire and their site covered with the Lake Asphaltites, the Dead Sea.
