Religion of Skaldia

Much like the Romans worshipped the gods of the Greeks under different names, so do the Ulfen worship the same gods as the rest of Golarion, only under different names, and, for the most part, these gods are pretty much the same.

Chief among the Ulfen gods is Erastil or, as they call him, Veiomar, "The Lord of the Hunt" and "The All Father."  They place an emphasis on Veiomar's primal hunting aspect, but still revere him as the 'father' or leader of the clan of the gods.  The laws of loyalty to one's group be it family, community or clan are considered to be Veiomar's doctrines, as well as the law of hospitality, and those who violate these laws are subject to his wrath.  Some of those who worship Veiomar consider the wolf, an apex predator in Skaldia, to be sacred.  Their stories of Veiomar tell of a great wolf that travels with him as a brother, and hunts by his side.  Loremasters tell that these wolf-worshiping Ulfen were the first to have lasting relationships with outsiders and the mispronunciation of the word "wolven" is the origin of the cultural name "Ulfen."  (Those Ulfen who live a seafaring life call themselves "Skalds") All worshippers of Veiomar long to travel to his hunting grounds, Veioland, if they die in his favor, especially if they die defending their family, community or group.  Some small wolf cults believe that they will be hunters in Veioland and all others incarnated as deer or other prey.

Seggar "The Shield Brother" is the name the Skaldians use for Gorum.  Seggar is the god of war and combat in general.  He is the shield brother of Veiomar, but tales rarely tell of the two fighting side by side, except against some mythic linnorms.  If die valiantly, you travel across the sea to Valenheim the home of the gods.  There, if you are found worthy, you are allowed to cross the whalebone bridge and drink among ancient heroes in Sovngarde, the mead hall of the gods.  there you will remain as long as your name is spoken among your countrymen or sung in songs.

Desna is worshiped as Moedhernie "the Seafarer" or "Sky Mother"  Those Skalds who invoke the name of Seggar as they hack their enemies' limbs off, will have only one shrine on their linnorm-crested ships; the butterfly shrine of Moedhernie, the seafaring sky-mother who places the stars in the sea of the sky to guide them through the unpredictable chaos of the sea.  In their tales she is the chief Shield maiden of Veiomar, and commands the Valkyrie.

The dwarves in Skladia worship Torag, a god of their homeland.  They believe Torag is the creator and 'father' of all things.  Their clerics often argue with those of Veiomar as to who is the more powerful, true father or which is, in general, better than the other, but each respects the other, and open conflict has never broken out between the two.  Dwarves and some scholars argue that Torag was worshipped in Skaldia long before any of the other gods.  As evidence of this they refer to a statue of Torag found in some ruins that they believe are remnants of an Azlanti building. 

Some ancient texts call the Azlanti of Skaldia "Dwemer," but no one knows the origin of this word or even what it truly means.

*All the "Skaldian" deity names were created/made up by me using an English/Norse dictionary... or what sufficed for an English/Norse dictionary.  I'm also toying with the idea of using the gods and deadra of Skyrim/Tamriel in my campaign setting.  That would keep the flavor of Skyrim, and lends itself to an actual mythos/pantheon instead of just the haphazard deities in Pathfinder (I say haphazard, I've not yet read all there is to read on the religions of both Tamriel and Golarion.
