The Northern Realms are bitterly cold. They are the domain of a pantheon largely devoted to fostering honor and glory among their people. Of course, each deity's respective definition of these things vary, and so the Northern Pantheon is rarely without internal conflict, but these conflicts fall away when the need arises. The Northern Gods are largely one inter-reliant family. These gods run the gambit, from kindly family figures to merciless taskmasters, but they are unified in wanting truly exceptional worshippers - for the earthly strength of a Northern god is the earthly strength of the Northern pantheon.
