Valthism
Valthism is the primary religion of Svalvag. It is named after the great god Valathar, a powerful warrior who wields an axe. According to religious writings, Valathar created a path between all planes of existence by cutting down an ethereal tree, laboring at the task for over 1000 years. Supposedly, the Astral Gate lies deep within the Svalian Wastes, but if it does exist, it is yet to be discovered. The seers also believe that even if it is found, it will be extremely difficult to open. Nonetheless, some religious fanatics venture into the wastes in search of the Gate, hoping to meet their god. Often, they are never seen again, buried for eternities by the relentless snowfall.
Structure
The seers of Svalvag also act as the religious leaders of the land, in addition to being in charge of the judicial system. Most of the seers live in the great hall Kalmarsa, but those who do not meet there annually, or if called upon.
