Gods of Heimr

All gods on Heimr are actually two gods (or one god with two sides, no mortal knows exactly how it works). One evil god and one good god. These are often called "sides". If a god is in balance than both sides are equally strong. If a god is evil or good oriented than the evil or good side of that god is stronger than the other side. But the other side still exists and still wields godly powers of course! The two sides of one god actively combat each other and most of the time their followers combat each other as well.
