[edit] Worshipers

Uthgar's followers consist of many human tribes collectively termed as the Uthgardt barbarians. His clerics often multi-class as barbarians, druids or rangers.

[edit] Tribes and alignments

The dogma of the Uthgardt religion varies slightly from tribe to tribe as each beast cult emphasizes different barbaric virtues. The clerics of these tribes, along with those who take Uthgar as a patron deity, must abide by the somewhat broader alignment guidelines of the beast totems who mediate between Uthgar and his people. Any alignment that fits the guideline for a beast totem is suitable for a cleric of Uthgar of that totem. The names of these tribes, along with their corresponding totems and alignments, are as follows:

• Black Lion – chaotic good
• Black Raven – chaotic evil
• Blue Bear – chaotic evil
• Elk – chaotic neutral
• Gray Wolf – chaotic neutral
• Great Worm – chaotic good
• Griffon – neutral
• Red Tiger – chaotic neutral
• Sky Pony – chaotic neutral
• Tree Ghost – neutral good
• Thunderbeast – chaotic neutral

Uthgar's superior is the Lord of Battles, Tempus.
