Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
Lots of fighting and fucking and feasting in Valhalla. Make sure you find a battle to die in because you don't want to miss it. Seems to beat the hell out of any heaven envisioned by xitans or muslims.
Perhaps I'm missing something
!I don't see any warnings of punishment or anything? so what's the risk here?
my entire argument was based on the cost/risk aversion of eternal *punishment*
