Where is Gehenna located?
The statement that Gehenna is situated in the valley of Hinnom near Jerusalem, in the "accursed valley" (Enoch, xxvii. 1 et seq. ), means simply that it has a gate there. It was in Zion, and had a gate in Jerusalem (Isa. xxxi. 9). It had three gates, one in the wilderness, one in the sea, and one in Jerusalem ('Er. 19a).
Today Gehenna, the valley Gai Hinnom, is the polar opposite of our vision of hell. There are no fiery furnaces, certainly no child sacrifice and nearly no noise. It's a quiet respite a stone's throw from the bustling Old City with paths framed by shady young olive trees.
Another quite interesting place within Gehenna. This place is extremely isolated, hidden away so that the beings that dwell there can live without being hunted by their enemies. The owner is a being known as Tastuo, a Fire Giant Wizard, who along with her eight similarly gifted siblings lives here.
