This is the '''only''' part of Valhalla that is even remotely interesting. It's where most adventurers who still have the thirst for life in them descend to the Kingdom far below. Basically, it is within the halls of the Valhalladay Inn that you will find the After-After-Life AI, who has the ability to reincarnate your character. When you visit him, you will be presented with all the usual character options. You can pick a new character gender, class.

There are also a few ascension options presented here.  You may pick one skill from the list of all the skills you learned in your previous life to be made permanent.  You may choose to follow a path of Teetotaler, Boozetefarian, Oxygenarian, or no path. You may opt to ascend hardcore, and you may choose from one of nine zodiac ascension signs.  Once you have chosen all your options, you may ascend and return to the Kingdom of Loathing, where you will be presented with the following text:

You move into the Valhalliday Inn and set about having an afterlife of afterleisure. After a few days, though, you realize that Valhallalala is a place where nothing ever happens. Not to put too fine a point on it (or a bee in your bonnet), you're getting bored.

Fortunately, the Valhalliday Inn has the KNN channel. One day (or, really, one particular point in eternity) you see the following news story:

"The Naughty Sorceress has returned to the Kingdom and is once again making trouble. King Ralph has vanished once again and the Council of Loathing has reconvened. In fact, it's a lot like the Naughty Sorceress had never been defeated!"

"How do I get out of here? I'm needed back in the Kingdom," you ask the ethereal concierge.

"Well," the shade replies, "You can always go see After-After-Life Al. He's just past that big stairway over there. There's a sign on the door."

You follow the shade's directions and find yourself living in a shotgun shack in another part of the world. Actually, you find yourself in front of a little store with a giant neon sign reading:

After-After-Life Al's: The Alpha and Alphmega in Reincarnation Services.


See the Ascension page for more details on the ascension options.
