Hel

In the Poetic Edda "Hel" is first a realm of the dead beneath one root of Yggdrasil, with a high house, gates and a rust-red cock, to which Odin rides on Sleipnir; the poems also speak of "the people of Hel" who sail with Loki at Ragnarok. Hel as a person, Loki's daughter, is the Prose Edda's account.
