| abstract | - The idea of the Grim Underworld contradicts some of those already put forth by other sources, suggesting that only some are taken there, while others appear to travel to another destination. The Demon butler Alathazdrar claims to have once served as a ferryman on the River Noumenon in the Grim Underworld, but left to pursue other interests in Gielinor and the Infernal Dimensions. This suggests that the Grim Underworld is not necessarily impossible to enter or leave at will, which is further demonstrated with the reincarnation of Robert the Strong into Bob the cat. Niflheim, only mentioned by name by Drangund, is a place common in Fremennik folklore and religion. According to Fremennik beliefs, those that do not die a heroic death are sent to Niflheim, a world that contrasts heavily with the Fremennik spiritual realm visited during Blood Runs Deep. Due to the Fremennik having strong cultural and religious history and identity, Niflheim is actually just Gielinor's underworld. But they also have their own afterlife, known as the Fremennik spiritual realm.. It appears as if another passage into the Grim Underworld is provided by the Sophanem Slayer Dungeon, which leads towards a bridge over the Noumenon that gives access to the warlock Oreb.
