Vanir

The Vanir are based on the Danes or the Northmen of Europe with the exception that Vaenirheim is land-locked. The Vaenir tend to be a hardy people regardless of their species, and place a heavy emphasis on creativity and strenght of arms. They have a connection to Deep Magic and the Giants of old, and have a particular dislike of Dragons who they see as megolomaniacs looking to cast the world in their own image - an inherited dislike handed down from the Giants. They also tend to slightly resent the Oni for inheriting the Behir.
Primary deities are:
Taevin, the god of storytelling, an aspect of Tohil. In the Guise of Taevin they appear as a fairly gender fluid human or half-elf, brown of skin, black of hair, but always identified by the air of mischief, their tricks and their talents.
Freyr, goddess of the hearth, deep magic, and community.
Adhar, Heart of the Sky
Ozazli the Stormheart, god of war
Queen of Ravens/Lord of Crows
The Vulture Prince
The Wildguide.
