Editing Hel

'''Hel, Goddess of Life and Death''' is a pro-monster [[Gods|divinity]] of the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia world]].

Like the [[Fallen God]] and [[Poseidon]], she has been [[Monsterization|monsterized]], and therefore works in opposition to the [[Chief God]] in [[Heaven]]. Hel was introduced in [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia II]]. She's a relatively young god and described as a petite and beautiful girl, graceful and dignified as the daughters of the nobles.

As the goddess of death, her power is required to use advanced [[Necromancy]]. She is described as "half living and half dead, i.e., half god and half [[Monster Girls|monster]]" in the [[Blessing of Undeath]] spell article. [[Banshee]]s, formerly an elven race<ref>[[Banshee/Extra]]</ref>, are her servants who guide the living into undeath. All witches of the [[Sabbath]] of the undead are Hel's devoted followers, with the [[Baphomet]] Renrushka being her priestess.<ref>[https://www.monstergirlsredux.moe/viewtopic.php?t=454 Sabbath of Immortals/Sabbath of Undead thread on Monster Girls Redux]</ref>

Hel, goddess of life and death, is said to have the power to change the living into the dead and the dead into the living. She is described as a petite and beautiful girl, graceful and dignified as the daughters of the nobles. Her body is said to live on while greeting death, just like the power she wields-and just like the undead monsters. She is considered a relatively young god of willful and unrestrained disposition, who abhors the idea that death is dark, cold, and sad, and that the dead never return. Dismissing it as a foolish assumption of the old, she promotes the knowledge that death is a new beginning-beyond which lies reunion with loved ones and pleasure unending. As such, she is the most commonly revered deity within the kingdoms of the undead-in place of the Chief God's chalky white churches stand churches of Hel, fine estates decked in red and black.

Hel's followers are promised deaths of everlasting peace- good lives as undead. She lends her power to answer their call, turning the living into the dead and raising the dead as the undead. In the previous Mamono Lord's reign, undead were vulnerable to holy power; lower-order undead were easily wiped out by clerics' spells of light-or even sunlight or prayers. At the time, the undead were quite fragile and weak-but in their new forms, undead races are far more stable. Beyond that, all are protected by the goddess Hel. Even a lower-order undead monster can no longer be eliminated by such methods.
