Ullr is a Scandinavian god with ancient origins. He was called upon to witness the swearing of oaths, and is also credited with being the origin of the Biathalon. Despite limited amount of stories he was likely one of the "Big 6" gods of Scandinavia as I will term them, and tied into what we would call Vanir cults. A popular winter sports festival in Colorado "Ullrfest" has the Norse god at the center due to his association with Skiing and Winter. It has created a boom in his popularity and a 25 foot tall sculpture of the god is now present in the hometown of Ullrfest, Breckenridge, Colorado. -TLK

Despite what's been shown in pop culture HeimdallR is regarded as "The Whitest of the Aesir" which may be a reference to his complexion or merely a reference to beauty. HeimdallR is also credited with bringing gifts of agriculture as well as being said to teach the runes to man. He is the guardian of Asgard and is a very old deity, with unclear origins, he is considered highly connected to the world tree, with one passage being interpreted as he gave his ear (hearing) to Mimirs Brunnr similar to Odin and his eye, which may have caused his hearing to increase to its present state and spread it throughout the nine realms. Making him a more effective watchman.-TLK
