'''Ulvriktru''' is a polytheistic religion originating within the Ulvrikian region of [[Concord]], as a result of the reorganization of Ulvrikian Paganism into a fully organized religion during the 600s by Nori Norison after the collapse of the Ulvrikian Empire in 550 AD. With Norison having supposedly spent 60 years of his life traveling across former lands of the Ulvrikian Empire, writing down all the different sagas to become one unified Saga for Ulvriktru. Which is now known as the Nori Saga. Which was done in an attempt to give a larger unified identity for the former imperial territories of Ulvrikia in the hope of reunifying the old Empire.
Despite several different branches and sects within the Ulvriktru religion the Nori Saga continues to agree on the written Ulvriktru canon. Though with various different interpretations of the religious texts. Mainly over theological disagreements about hierarchy of divinity, the warrior spirit and gender roles. Though all branches agree that Odin, the
The topic of religious authority within Ulvriktru has been a matter of deep division and tension ever since [[Gustaf II]] of [[Norgsveldet]] declared himself the Fylkir of Ulvriktru in 1770, kick starting the Ulvriktru War of Religion. With there being five branches within Ulvriktru. Those being Gustafism, Gothiricism, Firartru and Vanitru. With Gustafism being the largest out of the four branches with 229 million followers that are spread out among different continents. With Gustafism having three sub-branches of Ulvriktru those being Orthodox Gustafism, [[Hjørdist Gustafism]] and Carlist Gustafism. With Gothiricism being the second largest branch with over 116 million followers worldwide, largely concentrated within the continent of [[Novaris]], with half of them being located in [[Tretrid]].

=== Norison’s Reforms ===
With the collapse of the Ulvrikian Empire in 550 ACE much of what was written about the gods fell into the unknown. As the Ulvrikian core fell into a series of petty kingdoms and infighting, eventually leading to burning of the Divine Library of Fellgir. Though some sagas were secured within the periphery of the Empire, such as the Jarldom of Eyjaria and the Queendom of Lapérouse. Which was left outscathed from the collapse. For half a century the sagas about the gods were left disunified and seperate. According to historical recordings and documentations from [[Federation of the Southern Coast|Federation]], [[Eyjaria]] and [[Borea]] around 600s ACE an Gothir by the name of Nori Norison traveled across the past territories of the Empire. In an effort to gather the dozens of different Ulvrikian sagas into an unified one in an attempt to unify the faith. According to the [[Grand Shrine of Lilith]] Norison reportedly spent 60 years of his life in said pursuit.
While his travels are still a matter of historical debate as specific parts of his journey are debated it is agreed that he had traveled through every state which belonged to the Empire. Coined as “Nori’s Journey” which has been replicated by Ulvriktru pilgrims. After the end of his journey Norison made an unified Saga, one that has been called the Nori’s Saga. Despite being achieved well by the majority of Ulvrikian Pagans, coining themselves as Ulvriktruars, the saga was not universally recognised as the defining saga for the faith. With [[Viktorism|Viktorists]] and Akuriktruars keeping their sagas. Though all three believe in the same gods but disagree with Nori’s view of said gods. Coining what became known as Gamletru, meaning “Old Faith”, believing in the same gods but considered separate religions as a result of different scriptures.
