Irkalla
In Akkadian and Sumerian mythology, Irkalla (also Ir-Kalla, Irkalia) is the Hell-like underworld from which there is no return. Irkalla is ruled by the death god Nergal and his consort Ereshkigal.
Irkalla is sometimes referenced as the name of an androgynous death deity.
Compare with Hades.
