Odin
The High One, Odin
Odin often travels as a mortal wanderer around the material plane and as a god of magic, war, and wisdom, he visits the Material plane to distribute knowledge and victory in battle. Odin is one of only two Greater Deities to know how the world was created and through time with his brother, Re-Horakhty, watched as several other deities ascended from mortality to godhood by allowing these deities to be granted divinity from himself and his brother at the same time.
Divine Domains
Air, Knowledge, Magic, Travel, Trickery, and War.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
A watching blue eye.
Tenets of Faith
Followers of Odin constantly seek new knowledge as an advantage over their foes. The cult promotes self-reliance by relating tales of Odin turning against favored kings and generals in the midst of battle. The cult practices ritual hanging and piercing by spears in emulation of their patron deity, but in reality the hangings and injuries are purely tests and cause no lasting harm. Purposely removing or destroying an eye to emulate Odin is shameful to the cult, though an eye's loss in battle is considered a mark of favor from Odin.
