Asatru or Åsatro is a polytheistic religion practiced predomenitly in Norgsveldet and it's former colonies. While Asatru is a polytheisticc religion there is certain main gods that is mainly prayed to. Though depending on social status certain gods are prayed more to then others. Odin is seen the main god in the Asatru faith also seen as the most powerfull one as well. It is however his son Thor that is most widely prayed to by the average Asatruar, while Odin is prayed to by royalty and leadership figures. The monarch of Norgsveldet is seen as the head of the Asatru faith, though certain branches of Asatru rejects the religious authority of the Norgsveltian Monarch.

There is two main branches of Asatru, Gustafistic Asatru and Gothiric Asatru. With minor variant of the two can be seen across the Asatru community in the world.
