Walking out of the fields of Fólkvangr or the halls of Valhalla these fallen honored warriors have returned to do battle once more or to stand ready as they do in the heavens waiting for Ragnarök. Either way, it bodes poorly for those who would consider these hardened warriors their enemy. Coming from a variety of backgrounds, purposes, and people these warriors all however act in excellent cohesion and exercise surprisingly precise tactics after having been drilled and honed in the afterlife. Important Information. Einherjar are not normal undead by most accounts. They retain all their intelligence, memories, and more importantly their training and skill at arms, they are not bound by any malevolent force and act as they did in life, they do not decay or rot and look as they did in life, at a distance they appear to have white softly glowing eyes but up close their eyes look normal, they cannot be created by necromancers or other methods only Valkyries can create Einherjars by ascending the souls of fallen warriors to the heavens, and while they are technically undead they are treated as humanoids for effects and spells upon them. |
