Heimdall is the protector of Asgard, guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.  His vigilance prevents giants and other undesirables from entering Asgard at their whim.  Ragnarok is supposed to begin with the blowing of Heimdall's Gjallahorn.


Dogma

Those who adhere to the ways of Heimdall are protective of their communities and those who are unable to defend themselves.  Heimdall's followers practice self discipline, engage in civic duty and respect legal authority.  Many organize themselves into well regulated militia who serve the community in times of need. 


Clergy

Clerics who have devoted themselves to Heimdall focus their sermons on the virtues of community, working together for the good of all and watching out for one another.  They wear their cassocks a brilliant white; the combination of all the colors of the Bifrost Bridge.  They often find themselves helping to form and train the community constabulary.  Churches pastored a cleric of Heimdall often have bells installed that can serve as a warning to the community.  Many Paladins of the Asgardian faith have devoted themselves to the service of Heimdall.  They are leaders of the community watch and in some smaller villages, the sole protector.  Monasteries dedicated to Heimdall are often located at the peripheries of Futhark land and maintain a vigilant watch on those who come and go.  These monasteries are designed to be awash in light and have prisms set up to splash rainbows around its halls.  The rainbow is a focus of meditation for Heimdall's monks and they contemplate its many colors.
