MYTHOLOGY
HELGRIND x DEATH GATE
The gate to Hel’s abode, also called Hel-Gate. Helgrind was one of three entrances to the giant compound, along with Nagrind (Corpse-Gate) and Valgrind (Carrion Gate) – all were found by traversing Helveg (Hel Road).
In Helgrind we are attested with numerous Incursions to be engaged and completed prior to moving on to the next trial. The gates may seem vast beyond our comprehension. But, as ever, we remain Undaunted.
