About the Ship

The great and powerful goddess Hild was one of the legendary Valkyries. She is the daughter of Hogni and the wife of Hedin, who were engaged in a never-ending battle. The Valkyries flew over battlefields astride their horses and decided the fate of the fallen. Hild used her power to revive the dead on the armies of her father and husband to prolong their infinite conflict.
