gangleri-allfather: The goddess Hel, daughter of Loki, is the ruler of Helheim, the “default” afterlife is many northern traditions (that is to say, sickness and old age led you this goddess’ realm). According to legends, Odin banished Hel to the underworld. Hel would get her revenge, however. Once Baldr was killed, Hel refused to return him to Asgard.Also notable is her appearance. Partly composed, many sources say half of her is rotted, although the exact “half” is up to debate. What do you think? Is her body divided vertically or horizontally? -- source link
