Helheim

Helheim, in Norse mythology, is one of the realms of the dead. It is ruled by the goddess Hel and is often described as a cold, dark place where those who did not die a heroic death reside. Unlike Valhalla, which is for warriors who die in battle and go to the afterlife to feast and fight, Helheim is more of a neutral resting place for the souls of the unremarkable dead. It symbolizes the Norse view of death, where not all end in glory, and reflects the belief in a complex afterlife with different fates depending on one's life choices.
