Designed Valaskialf

4 ‘The land is sacred which I see lying
near the Æsir and elves;
but in Thrudheim Thor shall remain,
until the Powers are torn asunder.

5 ‘Yewdale it is called, the place where Ull
has made a hall for himself;
Alfheim the gods gave to Freyr
in bygone days as tooth-payment.

6 ‘There is a third home where the cheerful Powers
roofed the rooms with silver;
Valaskialf it is called, which the God designed for himself*
in bygone days.
