Frey and Freyja are deities who believe that fighting should be for a purpose, and not just for exercise or to extend lands. Freyja also acts as a patroness of the community, and love. This is more the love of shared expriences than passion. Both are followed by the common people, and many have small hearth shrines to them. Priests tend to vary, depending on the part of their deity which they most associate with.

Priests tend to act as leaders and healers. While quite proficient warriors, they tend more towards strategy and tatics than direct combat.

Some priests revere them as a nature deities. This only tends to be the case in more isolated areas. Such priests are not truely druids, but gain some powers of druids. Frey is generally considered to be more a deity of animals, Freyja of plants.

All priests of Frey are male, all priests of Freyja are female. Followers are almost invariably of the appropriate gender as well.
