Helheim is known as the Realm of the Dead - and the location that those who die a dishonorable death are forced to tread through the icy lands where no fire can live. It is comprised of a preliminary area and path from Tyr's Temple to the Bridge of the Damned - from which no one can return. The realm is ruled and watch over by Hræsvelg.

The realm possesses dark clouds covering the skies, an emerald-colored thin fog and mist, mountains of ice, structures made of stone and human-shaped metal statues. An ever-present wind current, known as the Winds of Hel, always blows throughout the entire realm. There are spherical devices that can hold the winds, which are usually used as door locks. Despite the overwhelming cold and abundant ice, there are non-frozen rivers of water that flow from waterfalls where Týr's Temple is located. A ship there can be used to traverse these rivers.

Helheim's architecture consists of bridges, gates and buildings made of an ebony black stone, most of which are covered by thick layers of ice and snow. Most of the metal statues scattered throughout the realm depict humans in lament states, and others hold wind-retaining spheres in their hands. There's also two sealed Hidden Chambers of Odin, one where the Raven King imprisoned the Valkyrie Ròta, and one where he hid part of the Shrine the Jötnar made about Týr. Throughout the realm, there are various places that can be found usually hiding rare and unique treasures.

Groups of savage undead marauders including Hel-Walkers, Travelers, and Revenants can often be found roaming the endless wastelands presumably looking for new victims or perhaps a way to escape back to the physical world. In addition other creatures can also be encountered as well such as Nightmares and Ogres. Because of this, Helheim is often viewed by many as being a very lawless and violent place.

The souls of the deceased must pass through the Bridge of the Damned. This bridge is guarded by the Bridge Keeper Máttugr Helson, a native Troll of Helheim whose job is to inspect each soul to make sure the person going past is truly dead.

At an unknown point, Sigrún imprisoned the Valkyries in different realms. One such Valkyrie, Ròta, was trapped in Helheim. Because of the Valkyries' imprisonment, those who died in battle could not reach Valhalla, leaving the Realm of the Dead overpopulated with souls, forcing many of the dead to return to the realms of the living as Hel-Walkers.

After having his head cut off by Kratos, Mimir's soul briefly entered Helheim. Before his soul could pass the Bridge of the Damned, he was brought back to life by Freya. The experience apparently left Mimir deeply terrified of the dreaded realm and he had no desire to ever return there.

Carter's experimental information extraction had turned to horrific and bizarre torture. Patients and prisoners were found dead or in vegetative states with all types of head trauma. In his office, they found the most terrible discovery of all. Dr Stamper himself, his head peeled open and an array of electrodes and sensors inserted into his still working, but annihilated brain. There was no sign of Herman "The Doctor" Carter, but his research papers suggested that he had been using the prisoners as part of awful ECT experiments as he searched for the panacea of mind control.

In addition to the UK, the King is head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms - but the monarchy's future role in some of these countries appears less certain after the Queen's death.\nThe 14 realms are Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.\nIn November 2021, Barbados became a republic, replacing the monarch with a president as head of state, and there has since been speculation that other countries, such as Jamaica, could follow suit.\nThe future role of the monarchy in these realms is likely to come under renewed scrutiny following the death of the Queen, and after controversies surrounding royal trips to Caribbean countries by the new Prince and Princess of Wales and the Earl and Countess of Wessex in March and April, respectively.\n\n \n \n window.__bloomberg__.ads.enqueue(\"box-2oZXAwE\");\n \"contentId\":\"RI6VTMTP3SHS\",\"position\":\"box\",\"dimensions\":\"mobile\":[[300,250],[3,3],[1,1],\"fluid\"],\"type\":\"Mobile Body Box Ad\",\"positionIncrement\":1,\"targeting\":\"position\":\"box1\",\"positionIncrement\":1,\"url\":\"\/news\/articles\/2022-09-14\/what-will-happen-to-commonwealth-realms-now-charles-is-king\",\"containerId\":\"box-2oZXAwE\"\n \n \n \n \n \n window.__bloomberg__.ads.enqueue(\"desktop-in-article-1-RI6VTMTP3SHS\");\n \"contentId\":\"RI6VTMTP3SHS\",\"position\":\"desktop-in-article1\",\"dimensions\":\"large_desktop\":[[300,250],[5,4],[3,3]],\"small_desktop\":[[300,250],[5,4],[3,3]],\"type\":\"Desktop in article Native Ad\",\"targeting\":\"position\":\"desktop-in-article1\",\"url\":\"\/news\/articles\/2022-09-14\/what-will-happen-to-commonwealth-realms-now-charles-is-king\",\"containerId\":\"desktop-in-article-1-RI6VTMTP3SHS\"\n \n \n William and Kate's royal trip in March to Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas was criticised over allegedly "tone deaf" images, which critics claimed were reminiscent of colonial days.\nThe controversial photos showed the couple, then known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, shaking hands with Kingston crowds behind a mesh wire fence, and riding in the back of a Land Rover.\nBelize locals also claimed they were not consulted about a royal engagement, and the couple were met with calls for slavery reparations from the monarchy in Jamaica.\nMeanwhile, Edward and Sophie also faced calls for reparations during their tour of Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines in April.\n\n \n \n window.__bloomberg__.ads.enqueue(\"in-article-1-RI6VTMTP3SHS\");\n \"contentId\":\"RI6VTMTP3SHS\",\"position\":\"in-article1\",\"dimensions\":\"mobile\":[[5,19],[300,250],[3,3],[1,1],\"fluid\"],\"tablet\":[[5,11],[728,90],[1,1]],\"type\":\"In Article Flex Native Ad\",\"positionIncrement\":1,\"targeting\":\"position\":\"in-article1\",\"positionIncrement\":1,\"url\":\"\/news\/articles\/2022-09-14\/what-will-happen-to-commonwealth-realms-now-charles-is-king\",\"containerId\":\"in-article-1-RI6VTMTP3SHS\"\n \n \n Here is what some of the Commonwealth realms have said about their future links to the monarchy:\n- The Bahamas\nA spokesperson for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas Philip Davis said a republic referendum "is not an agenda item of this administration at this time".\nIn a statement, Clint Watson, press secretary at the office of the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, told the PA news agency: "The Bahamas is in a period of mourning.
