In Norse mythology, Valhalla is described as a majestic hall in Asgard presided over by the god Odin. There were five possible realms the soul could travel to after death. First was, Fólkvangr which was ruled by the goddess Freyja. Second, was Hel, ruled by Hel, Loki's daughter. The third realm was that of the goddess Rán. The fourth realm was the Burial Mound where the dead could live, and the last realm was Valhalla, ruled by Odin and was called the Hall of Heroes.
The masses of those killed in combat (known as the einherjar), along with various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, live in Valhalla until Ragnarök, when they will march out of its many doors to fight in aid of Odin against the jötnar. This eternal battle and life in Valhalla was a reflection of greater Viking ideals, for "what finer way to exist other than fighting, killing, and feasting with your erstwhile enemies, united in the common enterprise of training for the final battle”.
All PCs need to have died in a battle (of sorts) with a weapon (of sorts) in their hand. Be as creative or as simple as you want. All classes, subclass, and races are allowed.

My top 3 answers: "You can try to do that." "No, that does not mean I like pans." "Yes, I am pansexual."
Well I would want to know how the DM takes it. It’s not a clear term. Does it mean I have to use Volo’s stats over Mordenkainen’s? Can I use Tasha’s subclasses that have not been superseded by 2024 updates, and thus are not legacy? I do not reward poor word choice by assuming anything.

Finally! What would a group of Vikings do without their Finnish bard, like the legendary Väinämöinen.
