The [[Poetic Edda|Poetic]] and [[Prose Edda]]s, the oldest sources for information on the Norse concept of the afterlife, vary in their description of the several realms that are described as falling under this topic. The most well-known are:
* [[Valhalla]]: (lit. "Hall of the Slain" i.e. "the Chosen Ones") Half the warriors who die in battle join the god [[Odin]] who rules over a majestic hall called Valhalla in [[Asgard]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.viking-mythology.com/theNineWorlds.php|title=Norse Mythology {{!}} The Nine Worlds|website=www.viking-mythology.com|access-date=11 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160515211313/http://www.viking-mythology.com/theNineWorlds.php|archive-date=15 May 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* [[Fólkvangr]]: ({{lit|Field of the Host}}) The other half join the goddess [[Freyja]] in a great meadow known as Fólkvangr.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://spangenhelm.com/folkvangr-freyjas-field-warriors/|title=Fólkvangr, Freyja welcomes you to the Field of the Host|date=20 May 2016|work=Spangenhelm|access-date=10 July 2017|language=en-US|archive-date=15 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170915104336/http://spangenhelm.com/folkvangr-freyjas-field-warriors/|url-status=live}}</ref>
* [[Niflhel]]: (lit. "The Dark" or "Misty Hel"). Niflhel is believed to be a place of punishment, where the oathbreakers and other wicked people go.
* [[Hel (realm)|Hel]]: ({{lit|The Covered Hall}}). Hel was the daughter of god Loki and her kingdom was located in downward and northward. Snorri Sturluson's ''[[Gylfaginning]]'' tells of evil men going to Niflhel via Hel.
