Well we've only seen and heard of Nords and Atmorans going to Sovngarde. We know it is not about religion since the Nords don't really follow the Nordic Pantheon anymore, they follow the Nine Divines. Only a few still follow the Nordic Pantheon, like that hunter that gives the LD the Kyne quest. Of course, but what I more meant by not being 'biological' was that if one, say, discovered they had Nordic grandfather, that would not neccessaily mean they could enter Sovngarde. By ideological, I meant being one of Shor's chosen amongst his people, being the reason for any biological factors. You could not claim to have access for simply having related geneology to the Nords, as all races (barring the Argonians) do.
