Ok thanks. I think Ars Mágica has the pagan gods being demoted to faerie status. They have a lot of power and they walk the Earth but the Divine is much more powerful. I don’t know how I would have the Norse gods be the Divine but I might have it so that the whole cosmology is true where the Norse gods have power but the cosmology is the way the Divine wills in areas where it controls. The idea that I like is that in ordinary towns where the Divine holds power, magic is subdued and the supernatural too. But outside of that in the countryside and forests the Norse gods have power and magic is strong. That keeps the towns boring and the country side filled with magic and adventure. But in the areas where the Divine does not have much power it allows the Infernal to set up outposts and this causes the conflicts and adventures that PC want. If the Divine gets power over the whole world then it will drive out all the faerie and Norse gods and the Infernal and there wont be much adventuring.
