Waelkyrige

The Waelkyrige, or Valkyries as they are more commonly known in the present day, are a sect of vampires who appear in White Wolf Publishing’s World of Darkness setting.

Description
Created by a sixth-generation vampire known as Brynhild, the Waelkyrige are a group of all-female Scandinavian Kindred from Clan Gangrel who can trace their roots back over two thousand years to a time when the peoples of Northern Europe still believed in the pantheon of Norse gods.

Thought by folk of the time to be emissaries of mighty Odin himself, the Waelkyrige would appear during significant battles and turn their tide in favour of one side of the other. There, they would choose the slain, either drinking them dry and thereby granting them a place in Valhalla (which the Norse believed to be a Heaven of sorts), or granting them temporary immortality on the physical plane through the Embrace. Either way, these warriors would count themselves as blessed by the gods.

In modern nights, the Waelkyrige believe that Ragnarok (the End Times in Norse folklore) is upon them, and have increased their program of Embracing new vampires, believing that an army is necessary to combat the ancient powers rising in the World of Darkness.

Oddindöhter
A splinter sect of radical feminists, the Oddindöhter (which roughly translates as the “daughters of Odin”) are a sub-group of the Waelkyrige who are responsible for much of the intelligence currently coming out of the chaotic Russian supernatural scene.
