Kjarr

Kjarr is a term used in Norse mythology to refer to the realm of the dead, specifically the realm of the gods. It is often translated as "the hall of the gods" or "the hall of the slain." In the Prose Edda, a collection of Norse myths written in the 13th century, Kjarr is described as a vast hall located in the sky, where the souls of the gods and the slain warriors who died in battle are said to reside. The hall is guarded by the god Heimdall, who watches over the boundary between the realms of the living and the dead. Kjarr is also associated with the concept of Valhalla, the hall of the slain, but while Valhalla is specifically for warriors who die in battle, Kjarr is a more general term that can refer to the realm of the dead in general. The exact location and nature of Kjarr are not clearly defined in the sources, but it is generally understood to be a place of rest and reward for those who have died honorably.
