List of Deities

Freya
The Goddess Freya is a primary Godess mentioned in the Sagas, and associated with love, death, sex, fertility, and hedonism. She once resided in her hall Sessrúmnir, located in Fólkvangr but has now died or ascended beyond the veil depending on the source material. In modern times, she is one of the most revered among the deities, being celebrated in different societies as a principal member of the pantheon. Among Elven High culture, she is depicted as an ideal of Elven beauty, and the Elenthil Saga notes that the first elves were sculpted to try to match her beauty. On Terra and her colonies, Freya is highly often cited as an excuse for a hedonistic lifestyle, with the infamous Freya festival being the largest celebration on the known worlds.

Baldur
Baldur is one of the Principal deities mentioned in the Sagas. Baldur is associated with innovation, prophecy, and wisdom. In the Sagas, Baldur is often shown as an artisan, philosopher, or inventor, creating designs and contraptions that the other Gods use in the adventures. In the Heilung Saga he is noted as being the builder of the ship that allowed the Gods to sail the Astral sea, with his own ship Hringhorni, being the greatest of them all. Baldur’s great hall Breidablik is mentioned several times throughout the Sagas, and has been the subject of much speculation and investigation, with many explorers and adventurers seeking out the hall. Balur is especially highly regarded in Dwarven culture.

Tyr
Tyr is one of the principal deities mentioned in the Saga, particularly highly regarded among the Orcs, and associated with warfare, hunting, and combat. During the events of Ragnarok described in the Ragnarok saga, Tyr was consumed by the monstrous wolf Garmr. While Tyr is more commonly mentioned among the Orcish Sagas, he is most often shown as being slightly separate from the Gods, with fantastical beasts being their kin.
