Choosers of the slain and so-called angels of battle, the song of the valkyries plays wherever steel rings against steel. Valkyries are humanoid individuals of impressive physical stature who seek the most epic battles and legendary conflicts so that they can lay claim to the souls of the world's greatest warriors. The valkyries transform these souls into the implacable immortals known as einherjar. Valkyries most often serve gods of battle and war, though a valkyrie might pledge their service

Abilities
Claimer of the Heroic Dead (divine) — Svarýr commanders can detect the souls of those recently dead. A commander spends 10 minutes praying over the body of a creature who has been dead for no more than 12 hours; if that creature is worthy of becoming an einherji and of the appropriate alignment, the commander transforms that creature into a Svarýr soldier.
Ravenspeaker (divine) — Valkyries use ravens as servants and spies. They can speak with ravens, and they can have up to three raven servitors who follow their commands. Valkyries can constantly observe whatever their commanded ravens sense.
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

Trigger An allied creature within 60 feet who isn't a construct or undead is reduced to 0 Hit Points and their dying value is 2 or less
