Withic faith is an enduring religion preserved in Scyltheld and Lesser Orkfjarr, centred on the worship of the siblings of Varangr and Auðmaer: Teiws and Warld, along with their extended divine family. All Withic deities are venerated by their followers, while Ættǫrr is considered a rogue god, whose lawless and wandering nature has caused conflict. Withic worship emphasises survival, primal strength, the cycles of life, and communion with the raw forces of nature. Central to their practice is the Gratsul, a sacred pillar, representing the connection between mortals, the earth, and the divine.

Beliefs & Philosophy
All Withic gods are revered as understanding the struggles of humanity and the raw forces of the world.
Worship focuses on the primal connection to nature, survival instincts, and the cycles of life and death.
The Gratsul serves as a sacred axis mundi for ritual, sacrifice, and divine communion.
While formal churches may label some sects as “primordial” or “heretical,” Withic faith persists in rural and tribal communities, preserving the old ways and honoring the deities who guide humanity through hardship.
