Helheim

Helheim (ヘルヘイム) was one of the nine worlds of YGGDRASIL.

Background
The World Tree YGGDRASIL had countless leaves, but then a gigantic monster appeared which devoured these leaves, causing them to fall one after the other, until only nine were left. These nine leaves were the previous incarnations of the Nine Worlds, particularly Helheim. However, the leaf-eating monster continued its advance to the point where it seeks to devour the leaf representing Helheim. This was the backstory upon which the players adventured into the world of Helheim in order to protect it.

Helheim was one of the realms where many players of the heteromorphic races mainly resided in. During the early years of YGGDRASIL, players belonging to heteromorphic races were hunted by various PKers.

The world was described to be ridiculously huge, and there were many places within it which were difficult to explore. For instance, there were many areas which required the use of special equipment along with a proper strategy and the determination in order to delve into its hard-to-find dungeons that drop valuable Data Crystals.

Although it was due to the fact that killing heteromorphic players possessed zero penalties, the other players commence this hunt out of disgust for their monstrous characters. Either that or they did it to gain access to special classes which required killing a certain amount of heteromorphic players.

To escape persecution and harassment, many heteromorphic players took refuge in the world of Helheim, where it acted as their sanctuary from other racial players.

Within Múspellsheimr, things became more dangerous the further one went from the center of its world. In addition to the wandering monsters, the very terrain itself became a hazard for players to explore.
