Standing next to him are the Helgener - his saints, who were once mortal people that ascended to divinity for their virtue. By far the most important Helgen to the Folklorists is Jesus, a great warrior who sacrificed his life in order to prevent Ragnarök and save all the people on Earth, and is now invoked by his followers for aid in battle. Other deities include Sankte Per, who judges the souls of the dead, Sankta Lucia, who brings kindness and warmth into the hearts of even the hardest of warriors, and Sankt Olaf, the patron and guardian of rulers everywhere. The goal in every Folklorist's life is to become one of the Helgener, making the Father of Fathers proud, and to be a virtuous example for all future generations."

  folketro_desc:0 "The Scandinavian folk religion centers around a pantheon headed by the Allfather - the primordial ancestor of mankind ruling over Heaven, where valkyries guide the souls of the dead. Standing next to him are the Helgener - his saints, who were once mortal people that ascended to divinity for their virtue. By far the most important Helgen to the Folklorists is Jesus, a great warrior who sacrificed his life in order to prevent Ragnarök and save all the people on Earth, and is now invoked by his followers for aid in battle. Other deities include Sankte Per, who judges the souls of the dead, Sankta Lucia, who brings kindness and warmth into the hearts of even the hardest of warriors, and Sankt Olaf, the patron and guardian of rulers everywhere. The goal in every Folklorist's life is to become one of the Helgener, making the Father of Fathers proud, and to be a virtuous example for all future generations."
