Independent State of America

Nation

Much smaller geographically than our USA, the ISA covers the north eastern part of the New World. 

The main religion is a form of Norse Paganism and the magic they practice is tied to the gods of that religion.

THE AMERICAN GODS

Woden (Óðinn/Odin): God of wisdom, war, poetry, and death. Woden was seen as a leader of the gods, a seeker of knowledge, and a master of magic and prophecy. He was also known for his role in guiding warriors in battle and welcoming fallen warriors to his hall.

Þunor (Þórr/Thor): God of thunder, storms, and protection. Þunor wielded the powerful hammer Mjǫllnir, which he used to defend gods and men against giants and other threats. He was a popular deity among warriors and farmers alike for his protective powers.

Frīg (Frigg/Frigga): Goddess of marriage, motherhood, and foreknowledge. Frīg, Woden’s wife, was believed to have powers of prophecy, though she seldom shared her insights. She was also revered as a protector of hearth and home.

Tīw (Týr): God of war, law, and justice. Tīw was a figure of courage and sacrifice, best known for losing his hand to the wolf Fenrir. He represented the ideals of honor and fair dealing in battle and legal matters.

Ēostre: Goddess of spring and dawn, worshiped during the festival that eventually became Easter. Little is known about Ēostre’s original mythology, but she was associated with the renewal of life and the transition of seasons.

Hælg (Hœnir/Hœnir): A god associated with prophecy, wisdom, and silence. In some sources, he accompanied Woden and was involved in the creation of the first humans. Hælg’s quiet demeanor suggested a contemplative nature.

Nerþus (Njǫrðr/Njord): God of the sea, fishing, wealth, and prosperity. Though little is known of his Anglo-Saxon veneration, Nerþus was thought to bring good fortune, especially in seafaring and coastal communities.

Baldaeg (Baldr/Balder): God of beauty, light, and purity. Baldaeg was known for his fairness, kindness, and the tragic prophecy of his untimely death, which signified a profound loss to both gods and men.

Freō (Freyja): Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and war. Freō was a powerful figure associated with magic, seiðr (a form of sorcery), and the dead. She was beloved for her beauty and her roles as both a nurturer and a warrior.

Ing (Freyr): God of fertility, peace, and prosperity. Ing was revered for his association with farming, harvests, and general well-being. In the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem, he was depicted as a prosperous leader and a symbol of abundance.

Hel: Goddess of the underworld, ruler of the land of the dead. Hel presided over those who died of sickness or old age rather than in battle, and her realm was seen as a shadowy counterpart to the glory of Woden’s hall.

The Wyrd: Beings who operate much like the fates and can see the past and the future.
