Religion
Religion in Lov-e-set, is predominantly Lew-Ulvriktru, a form of Ulvriktru that is ethnically connected to the Lews. Lew-Ulvriktru differs heavily from all three main branches of Ulvriktru, praying and temple service is seen as non-essential, gods having a less important role in the faith and a open rejection to material comforts or matters. The ethnic religion only has a single temple and a single temple priest, the temple priest title being handed down through the bloodline of the priest. The theology of Lew-Ulvriktru being only getting into Valhalla by being a great warrior and killing other warriors, killing another Lew-Ulvriktru warrior being seen as one of the greatest sins as it betrays the chance for that warrior to gain access into Valhalla. Valhalla being the only direct religious matter that the Lew-Ulvriktru pray towards, typically only at birth or at death.
