That would be cool if there were ancient nordic gods/goddesses still worshipped in far off places of Skyrim. Maybe the Empire would have it illegal, but it is still done by the Nords.

The Nords are allowed to practice their own religions, so yes. The Empire doesn't enforce the Divines as the religion.

Uh, the nords pantheon is something that would not be pushed aside. Hell, shrines to Shor could most likely be found in the middle of a city. Plus, it's not like the nords worship different gods, only different versions of them. Also, Alduin (Akatosh), Julianos and Orkey (Arkay) are not likely to be popular, the former is the destroyer, the middle is a traitor, and the latter tried to cut the life of nords to 6 years.

Hell, the religion of the 9 is nothing more than mer&nord-lite.

"By Ysmir's beard..." Just who is Ysmire anyway? Isn't he some sort of deity talked about by the nords?
