In Norse mythology, Valhalla means "Hall of the Fallen" and is the majestic hall of Odin in Asgard, where slain warriors chosen by the Valkyries go after death to prepare for the final battle of Ragnarok. These warriors, called Einherjar, spend their days fighting and their evenings feasting, dining with Odin, and drinking mead from a magically replenishing source.

It has also been referred to as a holding place for warriors to rise at a later date when needed.
