OT - Anyone knowledgeable about Norse mythology?

[Grog]

I'm trying to find out what the dead warriors who lived in Valhalla were called. I think it was Erinhar, or something (I know I butchered the spelling there). Can anyone help me out?

Einherjar

From Vafthrudnismal, stanza 41:

All the einherjar on Odin's fields
Hack each other each day
They choose slaughter and ride from the field
Later sit reconciled together

Thanks! Much appreciated.

The first is an acceptable Anglicization of "Einherjar". It's the form I remember most in the Norse mythology books I read in junior high and high school.

There are stats on the Einheriar in Deities and Demigods. I believe that they are updated, I believe, for 3.5 in the 3.5 Update download available from WotC.
