VALKYRIES, otherwise known as 'Chooser of the Slai

VALKYRIES, otherwise known as 'Chooser of the Slain', were commonly known to transport fallen warriors from the battlefield to Odin in Valhalla. However, Valhalla wasn't the only destination of the winged maidens. Half of the slain was sent to Folkvangr, the field of warriors, and the domain of Freyja. In more obscure lore, it is said that prior to battle, Valkyries would sit around a loom weaving the fate of the warriors using intestines for their thread, severed heads for weights, and swords and arrows for beaters, all the while chanting their intentions. Looking upon them, it is said, was like staring into a flame.

HEL, the queen of the realm of the dead, is often

HEL, the queen of the realm of the dead, is often described as split down the center. Half of her form is rotten, dripping, and decayed. The other half is a beautiful pale young woman. She presides over Helheim, where she receives a portion of the dead, and from where, come Ragnarökr, she will set sail on the Naglfar to Vigrid. But until then, she will remain hidden in the underworld.
