Sessrumnir

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sessrumnir is a term from Norse mythology and literally means "seat clearer". Presumably this was originally used to describe ships with many oar banks.

Snorri uses the word in Gylfaginning for Freya's Hall in Folkwang . Half of the warriors who fell in battle gather in it. The other half gathers around Odin in Valhalla .
