The Forsvarian Gods and Realms

## ***The Ænvir***

The **Ænvir** sit in their realm of gods, ruled by **Oddvar.**

#### **Oddvar**

The **father** of all things, he is the creator of realms and living things. A god of **wisdom** and **war**.

#### **Garda**

**Spouse** to **Oddvar** and mother of many of the gods, **Garda** is the goddess of **life**. She was the one who created **humans** in the visage of her children, though she did not expect them to have **such short lives**. The first human deaths came unexpectedly, and thus were lost to the world without an afterlife created to house them. Though after that the gods learned their mistakes and created **an eternal resting place** where **the newly dead spirits may lay**.

#### *Arne*

The god of **battle**. Son of **Oddvar**, **Arne** is a warrior by heart. He is the bravest and the most courageous of them all with **a heart of steel**.

#### *Siegfried*

Half brother to **Arne** and son of **Oddvar**, the god of **honor** and **light**.

#### *Heiro*

Goddess of **wealth** and **fear**. Born of **Oddvar** and Garda, **Heiro** is an avaricious being of terror that was tasked with keeping mankind in line. She **terrorizes** **the** **minds** of **men** across **Forsvar**, set on completing her job to **the** **fullest**.

## ***The Svartir***

The **Svartir** were rivals to the **Ænvir** and even fought them in the past although this war ended in unification between the two into one pantheon of peace. But this unification is only temporary.

#### **Ulfr**

The **most ruthless** of them all, the god of **survival** and leader of the **Svartir** clan. **Ulfr** blesses hunters in their journeys and adventurers in their travels.

#### **Itemir**

**Spouse** of **Ulfr** and goddess of **agriculture**, **Itemir** ran off with him to found the **Svartir** clan.

#### *Brilmr*

The goddess of **magic** and **curses**. Born from **Ulfr** and **Itemir**, **Brilmr** is very young and naive. She gave humanity her gift of magic, only to be shocked and taken aback at their uses for it. Despite her original surprise, she has grown to love curses.

#### *Paskeld*

The god of **darkness** and **tricks**. Born from **Oddvar**, he joined his brother in creating the **Svartir** clan against the **Ænvir**. Though he left the goings on of it to **Ulfr** since he would much rather mess with mortals than with deities.

#### *Catold*

The god of **purity**. **Catold** promotes **chastity, temperance, and condemnation of temptation**. The other deities **mock and mostly ignore him**, same with most of humanity.

## ***Realms***

### **Avenjorn**

The land where both the **Ænvir** and the **Svartir** reign in peace. After the two clans unified, the realm which was once in constant turmoil and anguish finally calmed to the afterlife those of honorable deaths deserve, for those who die in battle are bound to join **Oddvar** here.

### **Flarheim and Kegonheim**

These lands act as afterlife’s for those who died deaths mundane, common, or pathetic. **Oddvar** designated the **Flarheim** as the land of deaths swift and fast, represented by the flames that scorch the realm. He also decided that **Kegonheim** will hold those of deaths slow and painful, represented by the constant chill havocking the realm. He then created creatures to inhabit and govern over each, deciding what souls go where.

    These creatures argue commonly over what souls go to them, and as such escalate the situation greatly. Large fights are held between one side’s souls and the other side’s to see who wins.

### **Klodenjorn**

This is the world where all of humanity resides. A land shaped by the deities, but governed by those of **our kind**.

### **Svenrold**

A plane governed by a humanoid species known as **Twaves** that rivals mankind in strength and technology. These creatures are unified under one group following a **queen**, in an attempt to perfect themselves. They are stout in stature, and have a knack for **battle and science**.

### **Grudrold**

This land is controlled by various roaming **groups of giants**. These giants were once native to **Klodenjorn**, but when the gods took a disdain towards them, they quickly banished themselves to this place. It is said that remnants of the giants can still be found in our world to this day.
