Valhalla Wasn't the Whole Norse Afterlife - The Dead Had Other Destinations
Valhalla was never the whole answer—Norse myth sends the dead to multiple destinations, and none of them fit a simple reward-or-punishment chart. In Grímnismál, Odin receives the fallen in Valhalla while Freyja gets her share in Fólkvangr. Hel is not simply a Christian hell with a Norse name, and Baldr's presence there makes that reading too simple. Add Rán's net and the burial mound, and death in Norse tradition becomes a map of different endings, not one doctrine. The real mystery is not reward versus punishment, but why the sources never give us a clean rulebook for where the dead go. That uncertainty is the story.
