===Kislev=== [[Kislev]] has his own little pantheon of gods consist of three gods: '''Ursun''', '''Dazh''' and '''Tor'''. It isn't like an established Kislevite Pantheon, more like a group of local gods unique to Kislev. While almost all of the Kislevites only worship these three, some other gods have been worshipped by Kislevites too. Northern Gods of the Old World Pantheon is relatively common, mostly [[Ulric]] and Taal mainly because of Kislev's geographical closeness to [[the Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)|Northern Empire]]. Like in the Empire, many local gods and spirits are venerated too. Interestingly, Kislev is also the only place in the Old World to worship [[Necoho|Ma]][[Zuvassin|lal]]. The Temple of the Ancient Allies in the Kislevite city of Bolgasgrad is the only known temple dedicated to Necoho and Zuvassin, and the city is home to only known worshippers of them. But, to be clear, it isn't like they are commonly worshipped in Kislev, their worshippers are probably even less than their fans in real life. So about the real gods of Kislev: *'''[[Ursun]]''', the God of [[Bear Lore|Bears]] and Strength, Patron God of Kislev. Ursun is the most commonly worshipped god in Kislev, like Sigmar he's worsipped by everyone from wealthy cityfolk to nomads of the oblast. But in doctrine, Ursun has more common in [[Ulric]] and Taal than Sigmar. Like Ulric, Ursun is all about strenght, he prefers warriors over priests, acts over prayers. And like Taal, Ursun is more of the God of Bears than a God of man, bears are his sacred beast it is a privilege to hunt them, not a right given to humans. Like Taal dictates, bear hunts should be fair, no traps or hunting dogs allowed. One of the reasons that worship of Ursun is so common in Kislev is that Kislev is full of bears and worshipping the God of Bears makes things smoother between man and the beasts (and angering him gets you [[RIP AND TEAR|ripped apart by bears]]). His worshippers are rivals with Ulric's, but mutual respect exists between them. Ursun is practically worshipped by all of the Kislev and only in Kislev. His holy symbol is a bear or a bear's face. *'''[[Dazh]]''', the God of Sun, Fire and Hospitality. When you live in a frozen wasteland where winters are 10 months long and full of bears, fire and Sun is just what really matters to survive. So you should worship the God of Sun in the second coldest place of the world after [[Chaos Wastes|literally frosty hell]] itself, not some [[Ulric|God of Winter]]. Actually this is why Dazhinyi (and Kislevites in general) despise Ulricans: they are like middle-class children who want winter to come because of Christmas and to play in snow while Kislevites are like homeless people who don't want to freeze to death during winter. Sure, worshipping the God of Winter would probably fix all of that for them, but this is Warhammer so common sense is still [[Heresy|not tolerated]]. Dazh is, like Ursun, widely worshipped by Kislevites but with a bit of change. In the cold harsh tundras of north, Dazh symbolizes the struggle against the nature and his worship is essential to survive Kislevite winters as every campfire and torch lights brightly because of him. In rather civilized south, he is the God of Hospitality, more about hearths and being kind to guests. Dazh's holy symbol is the Sun or a flame. Judging by the Usirian = Morr logic in the End Times, one could say that Ptra and Dazh are the same person due to being primary god of human. Just don't tell Settra about it or he is going to lit Kislev on fire (might be a good thing actually). He is based on Slavic sun god Dazhbog. *'''[[Tor]]''', the God of Thunder and Lightning. The least inspired name ever given to a god of lightning. But at least he isn't just same with the [[Viking|Norse]] God Thor: Tor isn't a hammer wielding God of Heroism and War (that's [[Sigmar]]'s job) (also Tor prefers an axe), he is more of a force of nature. He is more about saying "Tor is angry today" during a lightning storm than prayers and systematic worship. Well, also a God of Lightning has nothing to offer to humans other than ''not'' striking them with a thunder bolt. Also his stricture is single, simple but smart: "Never stand under a tree in a thunderstorm." Tor's holy symbols are a thunderbolt and a silver axe.
