 ===[[Chantry of Jormungandr]]===
-The [[Chantry of Jormungandr]] is the main religious offering in the [[Aydahar Confederation]].  The [[Aydahar]], having dragon's blood coursing through them are less likely to attend temple services than most people of [[Otan]], but they give deference to [[Jormungandr]] in their daily lives through customs and superstitions.  [[Jormungandr]] is prophesied to have a deadly battle with [[Thor]] during [[Ragnarok]], though few [[Aydahar]] believe that [[Ragnarok]] is a true prophesy.

		+	In different cultures, the story of [[Ragnarok]] can vary. The [[Aydahar]] version, for example, will tell of how [[Jormungandr]] binds [[Otan]] together after a great war nearly splits the planet in two. In the [[Garis]] version, [[Fenris]] returns to [[Otan]] to rule over the remaining survivors, which the [[Garis]] assume to be mostly [[Garis]].

 The gods of the Wodenist religion have interactions with humans regularly... if the humans themselves are exceptional.  The gods will sit at table and eat and drink with humans who excel in some aspect of physical prowess or cognitive genius.  They will intercede while engaged in this intimate dialogue to protect their human guests from, for example, a mischievous giant.  It would be very rare, however, for them to take direct action in a human affair, such as intervening in a battle.  In the latter case the gods will rather send a messenger, a [[Valkyrie]], to tell the slain human how he did.

 The [[Fists of Woden]] are a small and relatively new faction based largely in [[Ortalyk]] though with a few adherents in [[Sigis]] from where they derive their signature martial arts style.  The members of the [[Fists of Woden]] are nearly all monks.  They are a fearless band who believe that the [[Temple of Woden]] has lost its way, being too permissive in allowing non-humans and other undesirables to worship.
