Ever lose your key? Is this it? Vikings had some weirdly shaped keys. I guess that's because each one was handmade. They were careful to lock their doors and keep their stuff in locked chests like this one:
I doubt these locks would keep out a determined thief, but apparently if you were caught stealing, the punishment was harsher if you broke into a locked room or a locked chest. The Vikings were all about harsh punishments.
"Must be why Valkyries wear keys on their belts," Magnus guessed. "So they can lock up their stuff and flog anyone who tries to take it."
"I want to meet these Valkyries," Annabeth said.
