- Fallen warriors chosen by the Valkyrie to join Odin's army for the final battle at Ragnarök 

Brief Bio

In Norse mythology, Einherjar (pronounced “in-HAIR-yar”) are warriors who have died in battle and are chosen by the Valkyries to reside in Valhalla, Odin's hall. In Valhalla, the Einherjar feast on the meat of the boar Sæhrímnir, which regenerates nightly, and drink mead provided by the goat Heiðrún. The primary purpose of the Einherjar in Valhalla is to train for the final battle of Ragnarök, where they will fight alongside the gods against the forces of chaos. 

The Einherjar represent the ideal of the warrior in Norse culture, embodying bravery, strength, and a willingness to fight for a cause.
