Sif

The goddess of combat skill and wisdom. To the worshipers of Sif, the motto "Put it to the test" is basic. All claims that are not obvious must be tried. In Falandria, where She is one of the dominant deities, She is praised for giving Her worshipers the chance of practicing rather than preaching, that is by using the sword. For a viking, a sword is a symbol of freedom, and without freedom, there can be no innovation. She is seen as the goddess of wisdom for She allows no false knowledge. Outside Falandria, this aspect is virtually unknown except for places of higher learning. But Sif is known for Her love of fighting skill, especially sword skill. In times of war She is worshiped by the able warrior, who pray that they will not die because of bad luck or guile. She has a reputation for saving skilled but hopelessly outnumbered warriors from the midst of battle. Those who preach the gospel of Sif are mostly female, the men Sif calls become swordsmen of Sif. 
Holy day: June 12th by the mouth of Tirskil near Dambergard. Holy symbol: Sword.
