• The Story of the Valkyries Aug 6, 2025

  

  High above the battlefields of Midgard, where mortal warriors clashed with sword and spear beneath storm-darkened skies, flew beings of such terrible beauty that men’s hearts would stop at the sight of them. These were the Valkyries—Odin’s chosen maidens, the “choosers of the slain” who carried the souls of fallen heroes to Valhalla.

  They rode through the air on horses whose hooves struck lightning from the clouds, their armor gleaming like captured starlight and their long hair streaming behind them like banners of war. Each carried a spear that could pierce any armor and a shield that could turn aside any blow, for they were warriors as skilled as any god.
