Valkyrie

CREATURE 12

The song of the valkyries plays wherever steel rings against steel. Choosers of the slain and so-called angels of battle, valkyries are humanoid individuals of impressive physical stature who seek the most epic battles and legendary conficts so 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 one might pledge their service to any deity they consider worthy. Gorum was particularly well known for having valkyrie and einherjar servants. Besmara also has valkyrie servitors, and many stories of "ghost ships" actually reference accounts of encounters with ships crewed by einherjar devoted to the Pirate Queen.

Claimer of the Slain (concentrate, divine)

Valkyries can detect the souls of those recently slain in combat. A valkyrie 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, the valkyrie transforms that creature into an einherji.

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.
