The vikings had several areas of afterlife. The most commonly known one was Valhalla, which is where one went if he honored Odin and was killed in battle. Helheim was the place where most people would go, which was a just simply a place of peace and rest. If you died at sea, you would go to Aegir's and Ran's Hall under the waves. The truly wicked dishonorable oathbreakers would go to Niflheim, to be chewed upon by the dragon Nidhogg.
