Rick Riordan
“My Einherjar have a saying: Some days you are the ax, some days you are the decapitated head. I like it so much, I’m having T-shirts made for the Hotel Valhalla gift shop.”
Rick Riordan, 9 From the Nine Worlds

“Then spoke Gangleri: 'There is a very large number of people in Val-hall. I declare by my salvation that Odin is a very great lord when he commands such a great troop. But what entertainment do the Einheriar have when they are not drinking?'
High said: 'Each day after they have got dressed they put on war-gear and go out into the courtyard and fight each other and they fall each upon the other. This is their sport. And when dinner-time approaches they ride back to Val-hall and sit down to drink, as it says here:
All Einheriar in Odin's courts fight one another each day. They select their victims and from battle ride, sit the more at peace together.”
Anthony Faulkes, Edda: Skaldskaparmal (Set of 2 Copies)
