Boreal Tribes
This ancient and frozen land, once known as the Freljord (and Vorrijaard before that) is full of primal magic and hardy peoples.
The Freljord is home to Humans, Giants, Goliaths, and more. Though the land was once the realm of three Primal Gods: Ornn, the Flame Beneath the Mountain. Volibear, The Relentless Storm. Anivia, The Cryophoenix.
Three groups rule the Boreal Tribes now; The Ursine: a group of all races (Devout followers of Volibear)
The Averosans: Humans, and the largest tribe.
The Frostguard: Goliaths and Humans, a mediocre sized tribe with a militaristic culture.
The Freljord was formed by the primal Gods of the land, as mentioned above. These Gods are counted among the Miar. Long before the arrival of the mortal races, the demi-gods manifested from supernatural forces formed the land they called Vorrijaard. While the truth about how they did it remains unclear, many tales have been passed down over generations.
In the days of the first tribes, wild magic ran rampant. The demi-gods were widely venerated and worshipped. A long-lost populace was known as the Hearthblood, apprentices who journeyed from all corners of Ileth, and gathered on the slopes of Hearth-Home to learn from Ornn, demi-god of the forge. Despite this imitative form of worship, Ornn never considered himself their patron. He would only give them curt nods or frowns when they offered up their work, and yet the Hearthblood accepted this and were determined to hone their skills. As a result, they came to create the finest tools, design the sturdiest structures, and brew the tastiest ales the world had ever beheld. They believed Ornn secretly approved of their perseverance, and the fact that they were always looking to better themselves in their craft. Meanwhile, great wars were waged, and the Volibear, demi-god of destruction, strength, and the storm, took to the field alongside his followers, clad in rune-inscribed armor made by his brother Ornn. At the time, the brothers' bond was strong—they often fought at each other's side, even though Ornn never had quite the same lust for battle. The Volibear reveled in hard-fought victories, and as ever more blood offerings were made to him, his power swelled.
In time, they drifted apart, each focusing on their own pursuits. Even so, there was no true division between them... until new ideas began to usurp the old beliefs.
(as far as the individual God's lore goes, it's the same as in LOL)
