The Black Hel was an Outer Plane of the Void (not the "Outer Void") where the 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. It was a culture that embedded demons within 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.
