Njord

God of the Sea and Winds

Those who seek wealth or abundance in fishing pray to Njord. A Vanir deity, he is the father of Frey and Freya. Njord married the female giant Skadi while among the Aesir, though they later divorced. As a deity of the mountains, she was uncomfortable on the coastlines, so they could never agree where to live. Their movements between homes created the seasons.

Tenets of Faith

Where Aegir’s cult threatens and glowers, Njord’s cult smiles. This cult supports those who make a living from the bounty of the sea through trade, fishing, shipbuilding, or supplying the needs of the other three. Njord’s cult numbers many prominent businesspeople among its members. When Aegir’s cultists mock them for their relatively mean tables and their preference for sailing within sight of the shore, Njord’s worshipers only look at their growing treasuries and smile.
