Editing Warhammer Fantasy Gods (section)

===Northmen===
Although many Norscan tribes venerate all the gods, most tend to favour one of the Four for his blessings. Below them are various Daemon Princes, fallen ancestors and Chaos Champions, and other lesser spirits alongside the Big Four.

*'''[[Khorne]]''' - The Hound, Kharnath, Lord of Rage, Akhar, Kjorn, the Axefather, Khorgar, the Bloodwolf, and the Wolf-Father and many more names. In such a brutal, warlike culture moulded by harsh climate and monsters, he is the most popular deity in Norsca.
*'''[[Tzeentch]]''' - The Eagle, Tchar, the Raven God and expy of [[Odin]]. Patron deity of the seers and ''vitki'' (sorcerers), he is distrusted by most Norscans. However, because he is also the god of the winds of Magic and physical currents, he is venerated before the Norscans board their longships.
*'''[[Nurgle]]''' - The Crow, Neiglen, Nurglitch, Onogal. Usually prayed to for avoiding plagues, or to spare themselves from the worst of the plagues by dedicating themselves to him.
*'''[[Slaanesh]]''' - The Serpent, Shornaar, Lanshor. Invoked at the feasts and marriages that occur after battles.
*'''Mermedus''' - a caricature of Mannan, this monstrous sea horror is invoked to avoid his wrath when Skaelings sail. Prisoners are sacrificed to Mermedus by being drowned with heavy weights, and to die at sea is to sink into Mermedus' domains, deprived from the glorious halls of the Four.

The Norscans believe that they must become strong and cruel, to win the favour of the Four Gods after they die and enter their halls for an eternity of feasting and brawling. Should they die as cowards or without their hands and weapons, they might instead be chased around in the afterlife as playthings for Daemons.


Some Southern and more "civilized" Norscans may worship the God of the Old world as well, such as Sigmar, but the [[blam|Lectors and Priests of the Empire would prefer not to acknowledge this]], as the savage tribes of the North have a corrupting influence and any attempt to humanize them may result in [[chaos spawn|less than favorable results]].
