(GUIDE ●●●●)
In Norse legend, the valkyries served both as the agentsof Odin and also as a manifestations of the Norns. In their latter capacity, the valkyries flew above great battles astride enormous wolves, deciding which of the combatants would live and which would die. Although they were guided by Fate in making their choices, the valkyries also provided aid to the All-Father, ensuring that the greatest warriors would find their way to Valhalla to join the einherjar (see Scion: Hero, p. 286).
