Mythology
Hel was the personification of the area with the same name as part of Niflheim, living beneath one of the roots of Yggdrasil. In Heimskringla it is said she's a daughter of Loki and Angrboda and was appointed by Odin himself to rule here. According to the Prose Edda, Hel played a key role in the attempted resurrection of Baldr.[1]
