Hel
This goddess causes plagues, diseases, and pestilence with the wave of her hand. These things will afflict the beings she looks at, taking away 5 hit points per round until they are dead or cured. She strikes with a + 3 sword that also causes disease whenever it hits, and does 5-50 points of damage at a blow.
Within a 90 yard radius of her body is an aura of withering that subtracts 20 hit points from all those not making their magical saving throws. She is also totally impervious to all physical weaponry.
The goddess of death lives in a dismal palace in the area of Hades known as Niflheim. She appears as a gaunt woman, whose body is completely white on the left side and jet black on the right. The left half of her face is totally blank. She rides a white, spectral three-legged horse.

The daughter of Loki and the female giant Angrboda, Hel (hell) was confined to Niflheim by the gods. She appears as a gaunt woman whose body is fair and lovely on one side, but dead and rotting on the other. Despite her hideous appearance, she is the least monstrous of Loki’s three children from this union (the other two are Fenrir the wolf and Jormungandr the world serpent).
DogmaHel teaches no particular dogma to the living, focusing instead on her dead minions. She does have a cult devoted to her, however. Its members feel that society unjustly imprisoned, exiled, or ignored them, and often seek revenge for real or imagined slights.
Clergy and TemplesHel has no organized worship. Her few living worshipers keep to themselves, plotting against everyone they feel has wronged them.
