The Valkyries

Their main role is to choose fallen warriors from the battlefield, escorting the bravest to Valhalla, Odin's hall, where they prepare for Ragnarok, the final battle. They are symbolized as both fierce and noble, representing themes of honor, bravery, and death. In stories and art, Valkyries are depicted riding flying horses and sometimes participating in human affairs. Their myth reflects the Norse values of heroism and the divine significance of warriors.
