Valhalla

Vikings were warriors in Old Norse society. Although their ranks included artisans and traders, Viking culture was warlike and centered around raiding and violence. Valhalla is a mythical location in Norse mythology where Viking warriors killed in battle go into the afterlife. In other words, a warrior's heaven. Valhalla is located in a celestial realm called Asgard, where the Norse gods live. It is a place of near-perpetual food, drink, pleasure, and battle. What Valhalla is called in Old Norse is Valhddotoll. The non-anglicized word roughly translates to ''the hall of slain warriors.'' The mythology around Valhalla was largely disseminated by Viking raiders in Scandinavia (750-1050 CE), which became Norway, Denmark, and Sweden in modern day.
