In Norse mythology, the great hall where the souls of warriors who died in battle were believed to go; more generally, a place or condition of glory or honor.
From Old Norse 'Valhöll,' composed of 'val' (the slain) + 'höll' (hall). The name literally means 'hall of the slain' in Norse culture.
Valhalla wasn't about relaxation—in Viking belief, dead warriors spent eternity fighting, feasting, and preparing for the final battle called Ragnarök, so it was less 'peaceful heaven' and more 'eternal adventure for warriors.'
