Right now I'm in an RP on a forum and I really want to introduce a second character but I can't choose between an Avariel cleric of Aerdrie Faenya or a Nordic cleric of Frey (who should have had his name spelled Freyr).
My problem is thus: I already have an elf in the RP and I want to be an outsider-type with a Nordic flair from the Beastlands (where the Nordic pantheon has their home realms).
The Avariel seems like a fun new thing to do, but I already have an elf in the game.
The Frey cleric would be fun and new, but I can't find an outsider type that resembles what I'm talking about.
Can anyone help with this decision?
I would be interested in a human from the Beastlands, but I haven't found any information on the humans there. |

The Norse pantheon has their home realms in Ysgard. The Beastlands is a different plane. There aren't many nordic outsiders, what Wooly said, einherjar.
Other options would be valkyrie; fensir - ysgardian trolls; liosalfr - light ''elves'' from Midgard's Northlands book; huldra, uldra; midgard dwarf from Frostburn; norn; ratatosk; skogsnufva - a type of tree spirit.

this for a realms based campaign or somewhere else? For a nordic-flair beastlands race, I'm thinking some kind of bear people or wolf people. A modified in looks and outlook version of a gnoll might work (i.e. more doggish, but stat-wise similar). Also, the spirit folk found in Rashemen would fit the beastlands. Another option is going "giantish/trollish", so a half-giant (from expanded psionic handbook) may work. Given that frey married a giant female, this might work. |

Well there likely are a few humans in the Beastlands, though mostly trying to live protected from the Beasts. I also do not know any lore about settlements of humans in the Beastlands, however it clearly is possible that trappers, hunters, gathers clearly could have established a settlement within those lands.
There is also option of human adopted by the one of the dominate races, think Tarzan as example for that type of human. |

How about some sort of einherjar? |
