In Norse mythology, the home of warriors slain gloriously in battle
{i} palace of the god Odin in which he receives the souls of fallen heros (Scandinavian Mythology)
in Norse mythology, a place in Asgard, the Norse heaven, to which the souls of those who died bravely in battle are taken by the Valkyries. In Germanic religion, the hall of slain warriors who live blissfully under the leadership of Odin. Valhalla is depicted as a splendid palace, roofed with shields, where the warriors feast on the flesh of a boar slaughtered daily and made whole again each evening. They drink liquor that flows from the udders of a goat, and their sport is to fight one another every day, with the slain being revived in the evening. Thus they will live until the Ragnarok, when they will leave Valhalla to fight at the side of Odin against the Giants. See also Asgard, Freyja, Valkyrie
