Laufey – God of Change

## Symbol

Laufey is the god of change, revolution and chaos. He thrives on chaos, deception and the overthrowing of the natural order of things. He is patron to dreamers, revolutionaries and those who seek freedom, manly adventurers. He dislikes authority to the point where doesn’t accept subservience, treating his vassals as his “family” and even going so far as to accept no followers (those who worship him have resorted to flimsily “worship” a different deity of the pantheon every day/moment, as this falsehood produces the same effects one would except a prayer to him to have). He is the eldest god in the pantheon but spends most of his time entertaining himself by toying with/tricking mortals and gods alike.
