December 12, 353 A germanic Priest and chief by the name of Aethulf receives a vision. He decides to unite the Germanic tribes under one banner. The Flag of Woden. He decides that because of the massive amounts of Germans converting from the path of the Gods to this jesus religion that he must bring back interest in the Gods he must write down the traditions and where necessary and instructed by his visions from Woden change the practices. Once he does that he must infiltrate and take over the Roman empire. (The Roman empire has declined but not yet to the point where the Germans cannot continue the legacy of Rome) He realizes that people who were not warriors could not go to or enjoy paradise so he meditates and consults the Gods on this. He sees Thor in a vision who tells him that there is only paradise for those who earn it. He learns of the Anti-Gods led by Loki. He learns of Loki and Woden's eternal conflict and he learns of the afterlife. He learns that the Cosmos is a living being who makes up all the infinite worlds that exist and is all powerful. He realizes the universal hierarchy is as shown.
Cosmos: infinitely powerful and makes up everything in a class by himself he can be compared with the greek Chaos and Christian God
Odin/Loki: blood brothers each the most powerful of their Godly brotherhood the Aesir and Ond-Aesir
Aesir/Ond-Aesir All the Germanic and Greek Gods gods each follows the commands of either Loki or Odin
Other Gods pretty much gods from other religion classified as lower gods
Spirits/Demons
Pontifex Maximus -highest priest
Pontifex
Human
The Afterlife
There are two places to go in the afterlife Den Salige Verden or Den Forbandede Verden. Den Salige Verden is like heaven except once you are bored or want to be reborn you are reborn. Den Forbandede Verden was more like a prison as once you have served your sentence you are reborn. The Gods Do not control the underworld except Hel and Hades and mostly Cosmos.
He calls this religion Vores Tro
July 12, 358 The faith has taken off in Saxony however still has a pitiful number of adherents. Julian has become emperor and has requested Germanic tribe's help against the Sassanid. They have Agreed in exchange for Parts of the western empire. Julian agrees to give them Hispania Italy and north africa, However these are Arian Christian tribes and are not led by Aethulf. The land is still Roman but now majority german
