Sovngarde, in my opinion, is based off of Nordic ideals rather than literal Nordic genealogy; as saying the latter just makes no sense to me.

Look at it like this, say there was a Nord hero like Ysgramor, but unlike Ysgramor this Nord loathed the Nordic Gods. Would he go to Sovngarde? I'd hope not.

And say there is a Breton hero of Skyrim who lived a Nordic lifestyle and worshipped Nordic gods. Would it be fair if he wasn't alowed entrance into Sovngarde when he died?
