Deities

In Orkfjarr, these acts of worship are decentralised, with no official figurehead of their religion; rather, each household head acts as the ‘priest’ for their family and leads their prayers. This is most commonly in the form of interior household shrines or statues, although larger settlements do have large wooden buildings dedicated to the Gods, often maintained by dedicated priests, often the homeless or famililess.

The majority of the people in Orkfjarr, worship four main Gods. The highest and most prominent are Varangr and Auðmaer, with their son Ættǫrr, the nomadic wanderer, of significant importance. Ættǫrr is known to be a shapeshifter, with his preferred form being that of a great white bear. His wife and sister, Íækvins, Beauty of the North, often beside his side. It is said that all Orkfjarric descends from Ættǫrr and Íækvins. It is said that when the Joring arrives, Ættǫrr and Íækvins will guide the Orkfjarric to a sheltered haven where winter cannot reach them.

On the isle of Lesser Orkfjarr, the Airthafulk sect of the Withic keep to the so-called continental Gods of Teiws and Warld. These people are mostly followers of Arthod 'The Great' who did not follow him to Poseia.
