Gods
The gods were divided into two main groups, the Os and the Van. There are also the Giants, who are hated and not worshipped. In modern belief, many people regard the myths of the gods as not being actual fact, but simply a human-understandable way to represent their characters and their interactions. The most important gods are listed below

Os

 * Weden (both e's are pronounced as in bed) is the leader of the gods. He is portrayed as a magical god, and a god of wisdom and writing. He is the ruler of Neorsawan, or the realm of the gods. Wedne is portayed as an old man, often with only one eye among northern Germanic peoples. Although he is the ruler of the gods in general, he is particularly associated with the Os, and he has a Van equivalent of Od, who is considered to only rule the Van.
 * Thur is the god of thunder. He is often shown as carrying a hammer and possessing incredibly strength. He has connections to the entire sky and to all weather as well. He is said to be the son of Weden.
 * Frie (pronounced both as free and fry) is the Os mother and woman goddess. She is also a goddess of prophecy, and as the wife of Weden is the queen of the gods. She governs childbirth, marriage, and family in general. She also has connections to the earth, particularly swamps. Frie of the Os is parallelled by Easter.
 * Tue is the one-handed warrior god of victory and glory.
