A bright hall that stands after the fires in Norse eschatology. Not Valhalla as the slain-hall, and not a generic heaven.

Völuspá in the Poetic Edda names Gimlé as a bright hall that stands after the fires. A named post-ruin hall in that poem, not Valhalla as the slain-hall and not a generic heaven.
