Valkyrien are figures from Norse mythology, often depicted as warrior maidens serving the god Odin. Their primary role is to choose those who may die and those who may live in battles, guiding the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, Odin's hall. In Valhalla, the chosen warriors, known as Einherjar, prepare for the events of Ragnarök, the end of the world in Norse belief. The Valkyries are also associated with fate and are sometimes seen as symbols of honor and bravery in battle.
