The '''Halls of the Dead''' is a UI-based [[interface]] that allows you to see your dead [[Hardcore]] characters via your in-game profile. It This UI will be similar to the in-game [[Armory]] and will display statistics the characters with the equipment, attributes, skills, runestones, and achievements that your dead Hardcore characters earned in other stats at their lifetimetime of death.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/?p=7934 Dead HC Characters] - Blizzard, 19/10/11</ref>
