Wow, Hel. Get it? It's like Hell, but without the l.
So original.
Yes, I know, the game constantly contradicts itself on that. Them granting you levitation is also one such thing.
Yeah. It's Hell, without the l.It's said at one point that the gods have made a voluntary agreement not to intervene too strongly in mortal affairs. Clearly, it's more like a guideline.

It's just Hel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(location)
When you first meet Pallegina iirc there's that short quest with the trading company guy you can kill or save, and she says something like only you can save him from HelHel is mentioned in the PoE guidebook...in a description of Saint Waidwen.
There's also a Hel's Gate Citadel.
Holy shit. Those frauds at Obsidian must hang.Yeah. It's Hell, without the l.It's said at one point that the gods have made a voluntary agreement not to intervene too strongly in mortal affairs. Clearly, it's more like a guideline.

If Hell and Hel are different, as some people like to claim, then that link is absolutely irrelevant to what you quoted.whathell which has germanic roots.Wow, Hel. Get it? It's like Hell, but without the l.

Edit: Heh, Infinitron already posted this :D
I'm not talking about the word itself, I'm talking about the meaning of the word. There's no fucking difference. The word "Hell" might have originated from german barbarians, but the idea behind it is much older.I know that the word Hell comes from Hel by the germanic roots of old english.
I defend that, according to Eothas portfolio (and PoE's lore which doesn't feature, afaik, some sort of Hell), the word Hel heres refers to the sun. Eothas has been shut down, he has imperium over light, he probably has the ability to cast a shadow on some piece of land, let's say an archipelago. Hence the quote.
And I only defend this idea because it'll piss TheSentinel off.
From when Pallegina refers to it in the game it seems "Hel" refers to some kind of... like... afterlife, but a bad afterlife. Not unlike the ancient Greek concept of Tartarus.
But in the context of Eora as a setting, where souls constantly reincarnate - and everyone knows this - why would there even be a word for a bad afterlife, or an afterlife at all?
I'd add I like the idea of setting the incarnation of light and hope and such as the supposed antagonist.

Just like Siege of Dragonspear.

Is it well treated ? I haven't played SoD.
- What are your predictions for PoE2 stretch goals ?
- Will Xaurips return?
- Eothas is found in Deadfire Archipelago.
- The Watcher travels from Twin Elms to the Vailian Republics to buy a ship to DA.
- Watcher is enslaved on Vailian Republics.
- Watcher is free.
- A whole pirate island becomes the new stronghold.
- Eothas is the new companion.
- People are angry.
- War -> PoE3
Hel? I didn't think Eora had that concept.
Also getting Eothas feel from this. And twitter says "Return", which might just mean that PoE returns or could refer in some capacity to Eothas.
Eothas returning for vengeance as a pissed-off God gone rogue?
Maybe he's a companion?
