HEL, Goddess of the Dead and Helheim

  • Alignment: Lawful Evil 
  • Domains: Kaldr, Wicked
  Hel is the terrifying Goddess of Helheim. Those who die of sickness or of old age, as well as those who die as criminals, are destined for her realm of the dead where they shall suffer eternally.    Helheim is the exact opposite of Valhalla. Even though she does not have quite as many worshippers as those who reside in Valhalla, Hel’s powers are greater than all other Gods and Goddesses when in Helheim.   Worshipping Hel is taboo, yet creatures do worship her in secret. Hel believes all beings deserve to be punished by a dishonourable death. Followers of Hel usually make sacrifices to appease their Goddess, and they kill others by poisoning them to prevent them from going to Valhalla.
