Valhöll (Valhalla)

Valhöll is the hall of war. Grímnismál says that there, in Gladsheim, Odin chooses each day those who die by weapons. Its roof is laid with spears, its hall is decked with shields, its benches are strewn with corslets, and a wolf hangs before the western door. Gylfaginning has the fallen heroes, the Einherjar, live there, served by the valkyries. The entry notes that scholars read the poem two ways: as a hall for the dead, or as a stylised battlefield.
