Hermod serves as both messenger and diplomat for the Asgardian deities.  He guides departed souls not destined for Valhalla to Hel's abode.  It will be Hermod who bargains with Hel for Balder's return to Asgard.


Dogma

Hermod's faithful believe in staying physically fit so that they are capable of undertaking whatever service is asked of them.  They also believe in volunteering for difficult tasks that no one else is willing to attempt.  They are encouraged to be loyal to their employers and to be respectful and courteous in their dealings with others.  They perform any task they undertake with alacrity for they reason that a deed quickly done well allows for more deeds to be done.


Clergy

Churches over which a cleric of Hermod presides are often used as town meeting places.  Town officials can rely on the clergy to disseminate any news to all the local faithful.  Hermod's clerics open their church doors to assist travelers and official envoys.  Their sermons often take the form of tales were a hero undertakes a daunting task out of loyalty to their master or the people.  Bravery, honor and haste are always major themes.  Many of Hermod's clerics are itenerant and can be seen traveling the roads in their light blue cassocks.
