THE NORSE PANTHEON
Where lhe land plummels from the snowy hills inlo lhe
icy fjords below, where lhe longboals draw up on lo lhe
beach, where the glaciers flow forward and relreal wilh
every fali and spring-lhis is lhe land of the Vikings,
the home of lhe Norse panlheon. It's a brulal clime,

lhe needs of lheir environment. Given lhe necessity of
raiding for food and wealth, il's surprising lhe mortais
lurned out as well as lhey did. Their powers reflecl
the need lhese warriors had for slrong leadership and
decisive action. Thus, lhey see lheir deities in every
bend of a river, hear them in lhe crash of lhe thunder
and lhe booming of lhe glaciers, and smell them in lhe
smoke of a burning longhouse.

Aesir (deilies of war and destiny) and lhe Vanir (gods
of ferlilily and prosperily). Once enemies, these lwo
families are now c10sely allied againsl lheir common

Thrym). Like lhe gods of Greyhawk, gods in different
families somelimes have overlap in their spheres of
influence: Frey (of lhe Vanir) and Odur (of the Aesir)
are both associated with lhe sun, for example.Deity
