The realms of the dead of northern Europe: the Norse Helheim, the Finnish Tuonela and the Slavic Nav. A realm belongs here when its cited article describes a land of the dead of a Norse, Finnish or Slavic people. It excludes Mediterranean underworlds. Examples in the atlas include Helheim, Tuonela and Nav. The three are the home of the ordinary dead in the north and east of Europe, and none of them is a place of torment.
