	'''The Black Hel''' was an Outer Plane of the [[Pales\|Void]] (not the "Outer Void") where the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] version of [[Eorgina]] (Orgiana) was banished at the end of the [[Wars of Dominion]]. She had ruled her own pantheon in the Black Hel up until that point, with a theocracy on a volcanic isle in southwest [[Jaiman]] in homage to her, which was run by [[Kadaena]]'s daughter V'rama Vair. It was a culture that embedded [[demon\|demons]] within [[Maleskari\|weapons]] and other objects, which were unique races of demonic fashioned by their dark gods and could only be summoned with the indigenous language. Whether speaking of Kadaena or Orgiana, the myth was that she wished to return, destroying the world in vengeance for banishment to the Void. Kadaena would have to be [[The Dark Path#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|ascended]] or perhaps even [[Ordainer\|demonic]] for this to happen.		'''The Black Hel''' was an Outer Plane of the [[Pales\|Void]] (not the "Outer Void") where the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] version of [[Eorgina]] (Orgiana) was banished at the end of the [[Wars of Dominion]].

Kadaena would have to be [[The Dark Path#Behind the Scenes\|ascended]] or perhaps even [[Ordainer\|demonic]] for this to happen.

	There were demons of the Black Hel on the isle who were ancient, most notably the [[Phantom Gatekeeper\|demonic gate]] whose wall surrounded the capital, who was 100,000 years old and so was built during the rule of the Empress Kadaena. There was thus an unexplained [[Lesser vruul#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|relationship]] between Kadaena and Orgiana in [[Shadow World]] history, implying the Dark Gods were banished at the end of the [[First Era]]. While Kadaena was indisputably dead, she was their "sleeping queen" who "spurns death." The [[Lords of Essaence]] would [[Muylari#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|sleep]] through the eons in [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|sarcophagi]], but her [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|actual]] sarcophagus was at the [[Eye of the Drake#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|south pole]].

	The Black Hel was never explicitly referenced in [[GemStone]] III, and few [[Demon Blade (saved post)\|references]] existed to that isle, however parts of [[The Graveyard]] were clearly based on its temple and [[Bandur Etrevion]] was contemporary with it. The Crypt is partly based on a hidden chamber in the temple of Orgiana consisting of a scroll room with niches 7 feet above the ground, cursed treasure, a soul threatening [[Phantom Gatekeeper\|flame burst]], and a false door leading to the Helm of Kadaena. However, this is also based on the [[Library of Nomikos]], as well as [[Purgatory#Archaeology\|Egyptian mortuary]] symbolism. The sarcophagus is based on the false tomb of Kadaena in the Royal Estate of V'rama Vair, which guards the portal to the Black Hel. The poetry of the sleeping queen who "spurns death" is reflected in the frieze inscription of "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon#Appearance_and_contents defying Death] itself." These two spots correspond to the hiding places of the Helm of Kadaena, separately in the [[Second Era\|Second]] and [[Third Era]], with the gate to the Black Hel probably not being [[Kadaena#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|locked]] before Orgiana's banishment. The subtle point of this that is easily missed is that Bandur not only should have had no access, but the conditions he is representing symbolically did not exist until [[The Temple of Darkness#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|centuries after]] his own death.

	The implication is that Bandur Etrevion was partially possessed in his youth by the Empress Kadaena across the cosmos of deep history. He would then acquire black knowledge subconsciously, and obsessively pursue quests making sense out of all of it. His madness would exacerbate as she became more dominant within him. (It is important to recognize that as a low-born common man in Shadow World, Bandur would not have known of the Lords of Essaence, and his profound insights and acquisition of black magic made no sense.) This would explain why he knew of the crypt in Royal Estate next to the portal leading to Orgiana, and the lack of problem in spite of her being an expressly male-hating deity. This method of immortality across [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon#Appearance_and_contents strange aeons] comes from [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/sot.aspx "The Shadow out of Time"]. While the vultite manuscript in his crypt was a [[Lord of Essaence]] preservation method, it is also an allusion to the end of this story implying Kadaena had used him to write it in his own language.

	The blood of the infant V'rama Vair was notably used by the Empress Kadaena to construct her Shadowstone necklace, along with the sacrifice of billions of souls and the fires of six and sixty suns. The Shadowstone should have absorbed the soul of Kadaena when she was killed by her cousin [[Utha]], which would nominally contradict the theology embodied by [[The Dark Path]]. This is not necessarily a problem as the Shadowstone had other unknown powers, unique to the wearer, which could explain the trans-temporal telepathy or spirit transference premise for Kadaena. Interestingly, the "Amulet of Charon" ([[Lornon]]) was an artifact made by "servants of Kadaena" in the [[Wars of Dominion]], which controlled the minds of women and ripped the souls out of men. The cults of Orgiana murdered males, which is telling. It would give its followers immortality with the energy of slaughtered men, forming the Cult of the Third Moon around itself, which was located in [[Rhakhaan]] near the [[Grey Mountains]].

The Shadowstone in theory should have absorbed the soul of Kadaena when she was killed by her cousin [[Andraax\|Utha]], which would otherwise contradict the theology embodied by [[The Dark Path]]. The cults of Orgiana murdered males. Interestingly, the "Amulet of Charon" ([[Lornon]]) was an artifact made by "servants of Kadaena" in the [[Wars of Dominion]], which controlled the minds of women and ripped the souls out of men. It would give its followers immortality with the energy of slaughtered men, forming the Cult of the Third Moon around itself, which was located in [[Rhakhaan]] near the [[Grey Mountains]].
