Grom

Grom is the god of war, battle turmoil and madness, which is why many believe that in times of great wars he accompanies them during fights, encouraging them to heroic feats and often introducing them to berserk. In many engravings and sketches, he is depicted as a mighty warrior with a large, two-handed axe, who rests on a great throne surrounded by virgins.

He is worshipped in many regions of the world and although he has various nicknames such as Haramon or Angram, it is very easy to recognise his chapels or other places devoted to him from the ornate engravings depicting battles and naked women.

Grom is considered by many to be a god who also patronises revelry and frolics, but no priest has openly confirmed this theory. It is true, however, that many celebrations related to the cult of the god of war end with feasts, richly drenched drinks and dances of beautiful women. According to legends, after each such feast like this, Grom returns to Bianna, who orders him to repent and not to fight. In the universal calendar there is a time called Penance, during which no blood is to be shed, and it lasts for a whole month, ending the year. It is a period patronised by the god of winter, Gunnar, introducing everyone to the new year. Of course, with the beginning of the new year, the vicious Grom stirs up wars and strife again to vent its thirst for war and madness.
