Norse Tether: The Valkyria

By James Walker

Odin doesn't have that many warriors on earth; they don't often die valiantly in battle; and even when they do it's uncommon for the Aurora Borealis to be in the sky. But when they do...

The Valkyria are very proud of their Tether, and guard it fanatically. The lower locus of the Tether allows them to function as ghosts while it is open, and they all have Vessels in case they need to fight the enemies of the warrior they are collecting (which they will often do anyway just for the fun of it). They will collect warriors of either gender; women who are collected by the Valkyria will be drafted into the unit - which beats being a serving wench in Odin's feast hall! Although not terribly powerful, the Tether has one important ability - it can drag a body back with it. The effect is identical to what will happen if a Celestial uses the Song of Transfiguration in an Ethereal Tether, with an unknown duration. Rumours that Odin sells the bodies to Saminga for zombi fodder are clearly false - why would he do that when Isis is so much more reliable and has similar views on infiltrating Christianity?

Worship Rite: Praise the heroism of a fallen comrade directly after their death.

Normal Rites: Praise the heroism of a fallen opponent directly after their death; prevent a warrior's corpse from being despoiled.
