Valhalla is an aspect of the afterlife in Norse mythology. Described as a massive hall ruled by Odin in Asgard, it was where fallen honored warriors, handpicked by Odin himself or his Valkyries, would join the einherjar and gather to dine with the gods.
History[edit | edit source]
During the 9th century, Svala, a reincarnation of Freyja, had successfully managed to regain all memories of her time as an Isu. With the realization that her death was imminent, Svala began secretly visiting Yggdrasil, Isu technology–mythologized by the Norse as the tree of life–hidden below Hordafylke. She used her knowledge as Freyja to successfully gain access to the machine's simulation of Valhalla. Preferring a digital existence due to her renewed vigor and youth, Svala chose to remain in Valhalla and gave up on her corporeal form in the outside world.[1]
Influence[edit | edit source]
During the 9th century, the place featured heavily in the every day life of the Vikings, as their attempts to settle in the British Isles was fraught with clashes with the locals.[2]
