Question
Description acceptable. Eric Bloodaxe’s conversion to one of these beings causes a thunderous sound heard by Bragi. One poem claims these beings’ numbers will “seem too few when the wolf comes.” Vingolf is home to some of these beings, who accompany the gods to the field Vígríðr (“veeg-REER”) after Gjallarhorn is blown. These people drink milk from the goat Heidrun, and eat meat from the resurrecting (*) boar Sæhrímnir, alongside the wolves Geri and Freki and their owner. After their death in battle, these people are chosen by shieldmaidens, and then fight every day for sport and return at night to a hall to feast. Valkyries select, for 10 points, what beings who train under Odin’s service until Ragnarok? ■END■
ANSWER: einherjar [accept any description of people in Valhalla or humans in Valhalla, accept any description of Odin’s warriors or fighters; prompt on people or humans or warriors or soldiers or Vikings or individuals selected by Valkyries or equivalents with “where are they?”; prompt on dead people / humans / warriors / soldiers / Vikings with “where did they go after they die?”]
