Valhalla is the hall of slain heroes where Valkyries take the souls of brave warriors who died on battle fields. The new souls join the souls of other dead warriors and together become the Einherjar — warriors preparing for the final battle at Ragnarök.
Trivia[]
In Norse mythology:
- Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök.[1]
- The Einherjar are those that have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries.[2]
- Ragnarök is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors.[3]
