Valgrind

Valgrind ("Gate of the Slain") was the outer gate of Valhalla, created by a giant and his stallion Svadilfari.

Every Einherjar had to pass the ancient gate before he came to the great hall, Valhalla.

"There Valgrind stands, | the sacred gate,
And behind are the holy doors;
Old is the gate, | but few there are
Who can tell how it tightly is locked."
(Grímnismál)
