Deities of the Valkans

The northern Valkan tribes are animistic and druidic, making little distinction except in scope between the spirits of individual trees, rocks, and animals, the spirits of the dead that find new homes in places or beasts, and the mighty gods of the earth and weather. Good and evil Northlanders alike serve their cruel gods when necessary.
