Eljuðnir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Norse mythology , Eljuðnir (sometimes Anglicized to Eljudnir ) is Hel's hall located in Niflheim as described in chapter 34 of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda in the book Gylfaginning . The name Eljuðnir [?eːl?juːðnez?] is Old Norse and means "sprayed with snowstorms" or "damp with sleet or rain". [1] The hall is only mentioned in this chapter.

Features [ edit ]

The hall is described as featuring a threshold that is actually a pitfall called Fallandaforað meaning "falling to peril ", her bed called Kor meaning "sick bed" that has bed curtains called Blikjandabol which means "Gleaming Disaster". [1]
