I just started wondering...

A viking dies of his wounds soon after the battle/is spared the pain by a friend with a knife.

Where does he go?

Former, Vahalla or the Folkvangr, depending on who takes him after the battle.
The latter, Hel, because it was not an honourable death in battle

Just say Valhalla. I'm sure the gods would understand. I can't see the likes of Odin and Thor being petty hardasses over muh rules like that.

To Hell with the other pagans!!!

>tfw not even Christian but the joke is so obvious.

Well I'd imagine that dying of wounds caused in battle still counts as death by battle. As long as it was an honorable battle, Valhalla awaits

Cheers folks.

I feel like the mercy-kill would still spare you from Hel. I mean, the reason you had to be put down was because you WOULDN'T die from your grievous battle-wounds, so clearly you're a hardass. And if the other option is living in pain and dying like a bitch from infection in a few days, then that way's not honorable either. I think Odin/Freya would permit it, assuming your wounds weren't earned when you were, idk - trying to run or hide.

>I can't see the likes of Odin and Thor being petty hardasses over muh rules like that.

Of course they're going to be petty hardasses about it... Unless you can point out a loophole.

Rules are rules for a reason.

In Vinland Saga something like that happened, the second in command guy gets really hurt after a fight and after dealing with his wounds and fever for some days asks the captain to kill him in battle

Or something like that, been a while since that happened

Vikings hadn't invented grenades yet, so they couldn't do awesome "takin' you with me" moves in emergencies as easily.
