The influence of Gungnir?

More than 2,000 years ago, the majestic Valhalla Temple was once the most sacred place in the eyes of the Nordic people. People yearned for this place more than they did Odin as this was the only place where the mortals had a direct connection to the gods. The bravest and most determined human warriors would become the chosen ones of the gods after death. They were cast into eternal steel armor in the Valhalla Temple, becoming the unrelenting guards of the sacred Garden of Asgard. It was an ultimate honor for humans of that era, which meant that they could ascend onto the altar, even if they were expendable.

This fanatical loyalty existed regardless of times. It was even more so during the brutal and cruel Mythological era.

But no matter how sacred and significant Valhalla was, it was only a ruin now.
