Wal stands for \"pile of slain\" and kyria stands for \"chooser\". The warrior women are both Odin's helpers and his daughters. They fulfill the wishes of the Allfather, choose the warriors fallen in battle, and bring them to him. The Valkyries can also intervene in battles and determine fate. The function of the Valkyries is thus similar to that of the three Norns.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIt is believed that the youngest Norn Skuld was also a Valkyrie.\u003cbr\u003e Like the Einherjar, the warrior women live in Valhalla.
