[Lufia]

One of the Valkyries is Hrist (and she's the first one that reached my mind).

Entering this will take you to a new page with... practically nothing on it. Then type in "Mist", and after that, "Herja".

That's all I've got so far, trying other Valkyries.

Edit: I think those 3 may be the only open, considering Snorri's Eda:

I will recite the names
of the valkyries of Viðrir (Odin).
Hrist, Mist, Herja,
Hlökk, Geiravör
Göll, Hjörþrimul
Gunnr, Herfjötur
Skuld, Geirönul
Skögul and Randgníð.
Ráðgríðr, Göndul,
Svipul, Geirskögul,
Hildr and Skeggöld,
Hrund, Geirdriful,
Randgríðr and Þrúðr,
Reginleif and Sveið,
Þögn, Hjalmþrimul,
Þrima and Skalmöld.

Someone over at IU found a page using skuld. It fits the pattern of numbers of the various pages we've found so far.

EDIT: Using gunnr works as well. I think at least a few of the other names on the list should work.

Son of EDIT: I think I see where the pages are going. When we find all of them, we'll be able to combine the images in such a way as it'll list a certain number of math problems. The solutions to these problems will probably give us a clue.

[Lufia]

So Geironul works, as well. As well as Svipul (which does have text), Skalmold, Geiravor (this one seems like a good one), Gunnr, Hrund, Geirdriful... and not sure what else. Aha.

Edit: Herfjotur, aaaand I'm going to start gluing together what's available.

Edit 2: Goll, and it really isn't enough. T_T.

[Esteed]

It really isn't. *Grumbles* The only thing I can think is that maybe we're supposed to try and use process of elimination to figure out the rest?

[Lufia]

No idea. But, I've got a list of the Valkyries which don't work (or I just don't know how I should enter them in), and what I've put together so far.

I don't know if I've put it together right, but it seems OK?

Meanwhile, the Valkyries which worked are in cyan: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/mythallic/vlist.gif

The Woden Academy symbol was also the clickable link on the Maria page. It might be reaching a little, but could Maria's information have something to do with it? Her image file is called valkyrie.

[ancalime]

I find the "Svipul.htm" page interesting...no image, just says "no duplicates" in invisible text. And the source has one capital R (in the center opening tag).

(oh noes, I've been sucked in by the norse mythology ARG! )

[duncan]

in svipul.htm we get

[Esteed]

Problem is, we still don't have enough to really put that to use. We need the problems before we can solve them.

[Grifter_7]

[EDIT:] Disregard this post.. the htm pages are case sensitive... and I'm an idiot. That's what I get for copy & pasteing.

[Esteed]

O.o That's strange. The pages still work for me.

EDIT: While exploring the Odina information at IU, I discovered a post where someone posted a link to what appears to be a blog by our friend Hermod. http://theyggdrasilreport.blogspot.com/ Credit goes to Accuracy on IU for finding it.

[Grifter_7]

It is #odina .

Woden is one of the names for Odin.

Solved the valkyrie riddle page.
