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 Allfather (or Allmother), is the highest on the hierarchy of divinity. Though interpretations of Odin have been a matter of high theological debate both in Odin’s path to wisdom but also matter of Odin’s gender. With the name Odin having been considered an gender neutral term by Ulvriktru theologians, mostly to avoid religious tensions and to avoid retribution.
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, Viktorism, Firartru and Vanitru. With Gustafism being the largest out of the five 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.
Ulvriktru being one of largest religions on Urth with over 400 million followers worldwide that spread out among several different continents. With it being the majority religion in dozens of different nations around the world.
