In Norse mythology, the name of the group of warriors who live in Odin's hall, Valhalla. Whenever a battle takes place on earth, Odin sends his beautiful daughters, the Valkyries, to the battlefield to select the brave warriors who have died in battle and bring them to Valhalla. There, they are treated graciously as Odin's personal guests until the end of the world, and live a life of fighting and feasting. It is the Valkyries who treat the wounds sustained in battle and serve at feasts. At the time of Ragnarok, the Einherjar participate in the final battle between the gods and the army of demons as Odin's soldiers.

北欧神話で,オーディンの館バルハラに住む戦士たちの集団の呼び名。地上で戦闘が行われるたびごとに,オーディンは戦場に自分の娘の美しい戦いの女神ワルキュルヤたちをつかわし,勇敢に戦った戦死者たちを選ばせ,バルハラに連れてこさせる。彼らはそこで世の終りのときまでオーディン自身の賓客として手厚いもてなしを受け,戦闘と饗宴に明け暮れる生活をおくる。戦闘で受ける負傷の手当をするのも,饗宴で給仕役をつとめるのもワルキュルヤたちである。ラグナレクのときには,エインヘルヤルはオーディンの手兵として神々と魔軍の最後の決戦に参加する。
