Nordic Pantheon

The Norse Pantheon, also known as the Germanic, Teutonic or Viking Pantheon, claims Northern Europe for itself and the native peoples. They are a unique Pagan Pantheon because they were originally two separate, warring Pantheons known as the Vasir and Aesir. An ancient war between them was settled with Freya's marriage, binding the two Pantheons by blood, and forming the Nordic Pantheon as we know it today.

== Facts: ==
-The Norse Pantheon is headed by Odin, known in mainland Germany as Wodan or Wotan. Odin is an Avatar Of God and he leads the Nordic Pantheon into battle against the various forces of Darkness who threaten their land. 
-The most popular member of this Pantheon has to be Thor. Thor was the god of thunder, a blacksmith, and patron to sailors and explorers. Thor is also one of the few Pagan Gods who is universally respected among all the Adept Orders. 
-The Norse Pantheon champions the way of the warrior and explorer above all others. Pagan Adepts who worship in this Pantheon will probably be skilled at arms and possess a daring, adventurous nature.
-The Norse Pantheon long ago made war with the Frost Giants, an ancient race of monstrous beings who threatened to blanket the land in a lasting, unbreakable winter. Thor was chief among the Norse gods for fighting the Frost Giants.
-The ancient stories and history of this Pantheon is preserved in the Sagas, epic tales of famous gods and Adepts associated with the Pantheon. Skalds, expert poets and philosophers among the Pantheon, are charged with preserving and memorizing the Sagas.
-Loki, the god of fire and trickery, brother to Thor, is associated with the Order of Tricksters. He is also famous for his ability to deceive people and raise hell.
-This Pantheon has an elite group of fighters known as Berserkers who practice a special type of worship to the Viking Gods. They ingest various herbs and drugs that put them into a state of absolute ferocity and unleash their primal fury against the foes of the Pantheon.
-The Norse Pantheon was later adopted by the eugenic fascists of the Nazi party.
== Aesir Vs Vasir: ==
The Nordic Pantheon was fused together from two precursor Pantheons, the Vasir and Aesir. This ancient war between two groups of gods took place a long, long time ago, so it's hard to discern facts. But from what we can tell, the Aesir were a more dominant Pantheon who ruled most of ancient Germania. 
The Vasir, a slightly smaller Pantheon, eventually grew restless and attacked the Aesir. While outnumbered, they inflicted heavy damages on the Aesir until a truce was called. The result of the truce was the arranged marriages between several members of each Pantheon, forming what today we would recognize as the Nordic Pantheon. Category:Pagan
