Óðinn's hall for fallen warriors, the chosen einherjar.
Valhöll is Óðinn's great hall in Ásgarðr to which the valkyries bring the noblest fallen warriors. There the einherjar live and fight each day then feast and drink in joy each evening.
Óðinn's purpose in gathering the einherjar is to build an army for Ragnarök. The hall is described with 540 doors, each wide enough for 800 warriors to march out side by side.
