Vanir Faction Page

The Vanir are the evil Gods of the God Cursed Mountains, Loki, Hel, Jörmungandr and Fenrir. Until recently most of them were trapped beneath the Sacred Mountain, however it is currently known that both Loki and Fenrir are on the loose. The Vanir are using their angels and the cultists who worship them to try and free the remaining Vanir beneath the mountain.
Once upon a time, these dark gods were opposed by good deities of the Mountains called the Æsir, Odin, Thor, Freya and many others, however belief in the gods is practically non existent in the God Curse Mountains. The Paladin of Thor, Gregor, and his paladins are trying to spread the word of the gods but with little luck. Gregor has contacted Athesia asking if some heroes can help spread the good word of the Æsir. Perhaps these Æsir could be of some help in fighting back the Vanir threat?
The Vanir (or more specifically, their agents) will try to kill people without weapons in their hands to add to their numbers.
Vanir Angels
Most deities have angel servants. Although their appearances can vary, all angels are vaguely humanoid in form, with masculine or feminine features and lower bodies that trail off into flowing energy.
Angels exist as expressions of the Astral Sea, sentient energy in humanoid form. The Vanir Angels serve the Vanir Gods, the ones who created them. They are powerful astral beings who act as a military force working for the gods who created them.
They act as generals with the cultists being their soldiers however it has sometimes been seen to have a few angels working together when they believe something is worthy of their combined power. 
Vanir Cultist
Vanir Cultists are humanoids that wear dark cloaks to cover up most of their features. They all worship the Vanir to such an extreme devotion that they are all willing to sacrifice themselves to further the goals of the Vanir.
The cultists come in all shapes and sizes depending on what humanoid they are but they also have different power sources. Not all cultists are clerics; you have warriors, mages and rouges among them too. 
The cult's purpose is unknown as the cultists seem to attack everyone without reason and without remorse. They do not take prisoners, they do not make sacrifices and they just kill anyone who is not a fellow cultist.
All cultists wear the symbol of their respective god. The gods of the Vanir are Loki, Hel, Jörmungandr and Fenrir
Athesians have discovered some evidence of a Vanir cultist that has links to the Dark Plains' Pelor, and a church in the Mountains. Heroes have been to this church before, but perhaps it's worth a second look.
==Notable NPCs==
Loki
The trickster god Loki has been found messing with Athesian affairs, he has perfect shapeshifting and can seemingly replace anyone he chooses.
Hel
Hel is presumed still trapped beneath the mountain.
Jörmungandr
Jörmungandr is presumed still trapped beneath the mountain.
Fenrir
Fenrir recently escaped his prison, and went on a rampage across the north-eastern territories of Athesia, he was eventually tricked into a ritual that syphoned off his power to ascend the deva race. Following this defeat Fenrir escaped back to the Mountains to lick his wounds and has not been seen since. Fenrir possesses similar shapeshifting abilities and a tendency for deception like Loki, however he is far faster to anger and give in to his animal instincts.
