It is said to be the most beautiful hall in the palace of Asgard, with 540 gates surrounding it, rafters built of spears, and a roof of polished shields. The palace, situated in the grove of Glasir, is surrounded by the river Thund. Odin, the god of death, rules Valhalla. After warriors have spent their days in battle, Odin heals their wounds and shares feasts with them in the hall. Valkyries, who wait on the heroes, serve a magic boar that returns to life each time it is killed. After the feast, battle songs are sung and tales of valiant fighting are recalled.
