Actions
Multiattack. The valkyrie makes two melee attacks.
Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage.
Healing Touch (2/Day). The valkyrie touches another creature. The target magically regains 13 (2d8 + 4) hit points and is freed from any curse, disease, poison, blindness, or deafness.

The valkyrie are celestial spirits that usher the spirits of dead warriors into the eternal hall. When not fulfilling this role, they serve mead to revelling warriors in the great hall, in anticipation of the end times when they will take up arms once more.
A Duty Earned. Valkyrie appear as winged, armour-clad females wielding large weapons, an echo of their past lives. Valkyrie, though charged with a greater purpose, are very able warriors should the need arise.
Destined to Love. Stories tell of Valkyrie that come to claim the souls of heroes, only to fall in love with them. They use their magic to restore life to their loves, and this is believed to be an origin of Aasimar.
