The Valkyries aren't exactly powers. They're more like proxies for the entire Norse pantheon, maidens who fetch the spirits of the brave to Valhalla on the backs of winged horses. They let plenty of berks fall into [[Hel|Hel's]] domain upon death, choosing only the most valiant from the field of battle to serve in the Aesir's force of einheriar. | The Valkyries aren't exactly powers.
