Through scrounging the Nexus’ various corners and crannies, Naugus has come upon about a half-dozen books. All of them on the subject he’d promised Verity he would look into; invocation of norse gods. Sitting at an outdoor café’s table with pen, paper and open tomes, he looks very out of place. His notes vary wildly from sparse, only a few words and key phrases, to short paragraphs. What he’s written is as follows:
-N O R S E gods
-L O K I
-Norse is regional, natives of the realm are nordic: planet is called "Earth"
-Prayer and Offerings
-Offerings largely focus on blood-letting. Horses(!) and boars(!) are most common and most sacred in general, but suggest there may be fixations on other types of meat depending on the god. When meat is prepared for sacrifice, the head/heart/hide are presented and blood sprinkled on the altar and the worshipers. After dedication, the meat is commonly boiled and consumed. Mention of a blood-bowl being part of the make of an altar.
-Non-meat sacrifices also mentioned: fruit/grain/flowers commonly of first harvest offered. Alcoholic libations poured out (onto altar?), hair cut from the forelock. (Verity already has given hair to Schön; unlikely option?) Vows also considered an offering.
-Commonly done on funerals, weddings, christening of kings, or to gain favour.
-LOKI:
-Rumours of fire affiliation. Mention this to Verity.
-Chaos and natural order. Will end their world? Interesting.
-No records of invocation!? Not a commonly worshiped god. Force of nature?
-Force of nature.
