Einherjar
dead warriors of Norse mythology, chosen by the valkyries to prepare in Valhalla for the battle of Ragnarök
In Norse mythology, the einherjar (lone-fighters[1]) are warriors who have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries.[2] In Valhalla, the einherjar eat meat from the boar called Sæhrímnir.[3] Every day he is boiled and every night he becomes whole again.[3] They drink mead provided by a goat named Heiðrún.[3] Every day they dress for battle and go out and fight each other.[4] This is to prepare for the events of Ragnarök (the end of the world).[5]
"Walhalla" (1905) by Emil Doepler
The einherjar are written about in the Prose Edda[6] by Snorri Sturluson. Also in the poem written in the 13th century Hákonarmál, by Eyvindr skáldaspillir.
