Norse - Gods
General Description - The Norse religion is one based strongly on the Viking Way that honors fighting skills and family ties.
Marriage and Divorce - A Norse marriage is essentially a contract between families. While the more progressive families consider the couple's wishes, any decision or action by the couple against either family will be consider an insult if not betrayal to the family. Divorce, while rare, is often part of the marriage contract, detailing the conditions acceptable for divorce and of restitution required by either family. Either the man or the woman can initiate the proceedings. In cases where there is no family or serious conflict within one family, a priest of rank Long Sword or greater can issue a ruling to resolve any issue.

The church hierarchy is divided up by both Ranks and Levels.
The Level is based on the spell level able to be cast, while the Rank is the political standing.
The Ranks are:
- Dagger
- Short Sword
- Long Sword
- Great Sword
- Spear
As the weapon lengths get longer the higher the political standing.
i.e. A 1st Dagger is lower than a 4th Dagger. A 4th Dagger is lower than a 2nd Long Sword, even if a more powerful spell caster
