Uller, God of the Hunt
Description
Uller is a deity in the Norse Pantheon, where he is the god of hunting and archery. He is the son of Sif and Thor, and husband of the giantess Skadi. He is best known for his skill at archery and skiing. He is considered by some to be one of the Vanir, although his parents are Aesir, perhaps because he built his hall on the plains of Vanaheim in what is now Asgard.
Uller is a handsome man with red hair and beard. He typically wears green clothing and no armor. Uller is renownedin Asgard for his cunning. When the Dwarf Brokkir attempted to deliver a god-killing weapon to the giants of Jotunheim, it was Uller who wisely suggested hiring adventurers to stop him. Uller is also one of the physically strongest of the Aesir. He is somewhat of a loner, eschewing the presence of the other Norse gods to travel and hunt in the wilderness.
Uller's sight, hearing and other senses extend to a distance of six miles from himself, his holy sites, followers, or any place where his name or title were spoken in the last hour. Uller automatically senses any effort to feed five hundred people or more by hunting, or any archery contests at which five hundred people or more are present. He has the unique ability to glide swiftly through or over snow and ice at great speed, leaving no tracks of any kind. He is immune to cold, and has the ability to control cold and wintry weather. He spends a great deal of time in the wilderness, and cannot be harmed by the elements.
His skill with archery is naturally supreme, and he is a particularly dangerous to Dragons, Magical Beasts, Goblins, Aberrations, and Undead. He can enter a berserk rage to fight with his Greatsword, although he prefers to rely on his bow. His skill at bow making, moving stealthily, moving through the wilderness, and handling animals are unparalleled. He is said to be able to hit any target he can see. He can create magic items related to archery or hunting, though his ability is limited, and he cannot create truly legendary items this way. He can cast numerous spells, including Find the Path, Dimension Door, Fly, Protection from Elements, and Teleport.
