The Ulflandic pantheon descends from the religion of the elves that settled the islands in ancient times. These elves were among those of their people that rejected the demonology of their western kin, the demonology that helped launch the destructive wizard wars, for the old druidic faith of their ancestors.
The gods worshipped by the old elves were their fey ancestors, the Kabir, and the various Animal Lords. In time, these deities came to be worshipped under different names, and their worship often evolved to include broader portfolios.
The Sassenachs brought their own gods and goddesses with them from the Motherlander pantheon (roughly cognate with the Greco-Roman deities), and in time the official church of Ulflandia came to recognize numerous saints.
