Valhöll

is where all men who died with honor in battle go to until Ragnarǫk, the Fate of the Gods. This golden fortress is Óðinn's hall. Reaching Valhöll was a goal for most Norse warriors and has been called the "Viking Heaven".   When men died in the midst of battle on Earth, the Valkyries would come for them and bring them to Valhöll for the first and last battle. They would be made immortal and trained against each other for the whole day. At the end of the day, those wounded would be healed and those who fought would part as friends. By night, the drink mead and sang to Óðinn. They were known as Einherjar.   The silver tree Glasir is located outside the hall, as is the golden tree Læraðr. The stag Eikthyrnir trims the branches of Glasir and the goat Heiðrún grazes upon Læraðr to produce mead for the Einherjar.
