Helheim is a land of shadows, windswept moors and silent mountains. Here lies Gnipahålan, the Stone Cave, where the dead pass through on their way to Hel. The Hanged Kings, ancient Vanir who have hanged themselves to learn the secrets of Death, rule the land from their thrones in Helhalla. Helheim is inhabited by Vanir, a race of tall and innately magical beings who are able to trick mortals with their glamour. The Vanir of Helheim have sequestered themselves from the Vanir of Vanheim and have not been part of the great war with the giants. For ages they have been guiding the dead on their way to Hel in service of a dead god. Now a new God is arising and the old ways are changing. The Valkyries, guides of the dead, have become messengers of death and sacred warriors of the new God. Valkyries, the female Vanir of Helheim, are able to fly, a gift from the dead god they once served. Lesser beings are not held in high regard and their blood is sacrificed to sate the Awakening God. Unlike their cousins in Vanheim, the Vanir of Helheim are not shipwrights and sailors.

Helheim is an alternate version of Vanir, with a focus on Death magic over blood. Helheim is an elf nation that can Skele-spam. Defiantly not as aggressively overpowered as its parent nation but possesses a wider diversity in mage with its mastery of Death.

The roster is composed largely of elves, long-lived and glamoured units with high defense skill. The majority of Helheim's armies will be therefore be invisible to most other players on the map.

• Sloth of Bears: Conj 3 6 2 ( Great Bearx10+) Need indes to cast. Sacks of HP with high lot of strength.

• Awaken Draugar: Conj 4 12 2 ( Draugx3) They are undead with a chill aura and fear and hit harder when on their last legs. They are comparable to Wights, with Draugar being better equipped to win the grind game.

• Brood of Garm: Conj 4 10 2 ( Jotun Wolfx5) Get Sacred Berserking Fear Wolves to acompany your Stealth raids. You can get Nature 2 from indes, so a decent addion to your armys if being pressured early game.

• Summon Valkyries: Conj 4 1 31 ( Valkyriex7) In combat, Summon Sacred flying ladies to Divebomb the enemy with a high damage lance charge. Nearly Identical to the ones you recruit from the cap. They will be unscripted will prioritize the squishy mages in the back but will be hard to bless,

• Summon Dwarf of the Four Directions: Conj 4 62 43. Shared between the Jotun and Vanir nations. Summon one of the four Dwarf smiths. Get a strong 432200% caster and a forger for your troubles at the cost (or benefit) of some hurricanes ravaging the world. Your unlikely to summon all four, but having them all missing benefits you the most, as you can see in the dark.

Fire is partially week, being requiring a random and a Skull of Fire to be 2 and 3 during combat, which can be serviceable in combat.

You do still have a blood game with Vanjarls but it is the easiest magic to empowering, and can boost up one of your Dwarfs for the blood boosters and summons.

Even before you empower for a Blood Stone, you can boost to a 4, but with the stone, you have enough for Earth Kings.

Air and Death are your bread and butter, and the Hangadrott are the best at it. Air randoms will get you to 3, then with luck or empowerment will get you into 4 to make the needed booster, go Air queens, then have a 7. With Death Randoms, they will beak you into the booster for 6

What is the best spell you can use in combat. What spells the best support your national lineup, Is their weakness that you need to fix? Any tricks you should be aware you have?

What is the best ritual you could cast. Are their any globals you want up, any units you should be summoning? Are there any Generic rituals few nations can cast?

Do you have any National items(Construction Level, Price, and required Paths). Any unique generic items few other nations can forge? What item would be useful on your unit lineup (non-standard recommend thug gear)?

Greedy and Powerful "sleeper" strategy

This is probably the most difficult section to get consensus for. Describe how strong the nation is during expansion, the early, mid and late game, and what makes it strong/weak at each of those points. This should give readers an idea of where the weaknesses of a nation lie (if they have not been shown already) and when to take advantage of a nation's strengths.

List some example expansion strategies here. If a strong bless or pretender is required then leave the specifics for the pretender section.

List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.
