This Valkyrie is waiting in the distance at the edge of the battlefield, to escort the fallen heroes to Valhalla. Only those who find on the battlefield, the dead will be chosen by the Valkyries. All others are expected after the death in the Underworld by the Goddess Hel.

 

Valkyria is the Norse word for Valkyrie. Wal stands for "heap of slain, and Kyria stands for" voter ". The Warriors are both attendants of Odin and his daughters. They fulfill the wishes of Wotan, choose the fallen warriors in battle and bring you to Him. The valkyries may also intervene in battles and decide the fate. The function of the Valkyries is thus similar to that of the three Norns. It is assumed that the younger Norn Skuld was a Valkyrie as well.
The Elves live like the Einherjer in Valhalla. The residence of the Valkyries in Valhalla is Wingolf, the Hall of Friendship.
