Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

Steeped in the muted colors and melancholy of Norse mythology, this tale casts the player as Lenneth, a valkyrie: one of the divine maidens who descend to the mortal world to seek out warriors fated to fall in battle. As the gods brace for a looming war among themselves, Lenneth is charged with gathering the spirits of these doomed heroes, learning the sorrowful, often tragic stories that led to their deaths, and guiding them into the afterlife. Those she deems worthy she trains and molds into einherjar, honored fighters who will one day take their place among the divine armies. Torn between her sacred duty to Odin and the very human grief carried by the souls she collects, Lenneth journeys across a world shadowed by loss and destiny. Beneath her solemn task, however, lie buried memories and secrets that may reshape her understanding of who she truly is.
