The Underworld

The realm of death in wolf tradition. Svargarm the Black Wolf is its caretaker and determines who will be interred there for eternity and who will pass on to the Great Sea. It is said that at the deepest, blackest corner of the Underworld lies Hel, a realm of ice and chaos infested with demons and that at the end of the world these demons will escape along with the icy winds of Hel and cover the whole world in permafrost, killing all life.
