I have a N human barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. He is a follower of Gorum.
What faction would make the most sense?

Taldor, Grand Lodge, Osirion, or maybe Qadira.
Currently, the Taldor Faction is trying to gather warriors to fight the Wourldwound, and unify the nation towards a common goal in hope of regaining glory. They also have a group called the Ulfen Guard which might be another easy fit for you.
The Grand Lodge is sort of the whatever Faction. They take everyone and it serves as the Factionless Faction as well as the Faction that just wants to be Pathfinders.
Osirion might work as you could join them in hopes of plunder, exploration of ancient mysteries, and glory. Their goals are to rediscover lost relics and items of power or history, and while the focus is on Osirion, they draw allies and members from everywhere. lso, it's probably going to be the focus of season 6.
Qadira, like Taldor and Osirion, are nation-based Factions, but take allies and members from everyone. Their focus is on trade and establishing mercantile power throughout the world, and while it might be the one least likely to fit of those mentioned, it could still work.
The Silver Crusade and Andoran probably don't fit as wll, but you could make them work. Both are focused on more goodish ideals, (SC wants to use the Society for benevolent things, A wants to spread the Andoran political idea of freedom and democracy and root out corruption). Cheliax is all about law, so probably the least likely of all, but still doable. Last is the Sczarni, which is kind of a ix between the Mob and a street gang. It could also work very well, though they tend to focus on intimidation and deception tactics.

Thank you DM Beckett. Ulfen Guard is very fascinating.

No worries. The only issue with Taldor is that it is a bit like Alignment. Everyone has their own idea on how it works, and as a Nation, even Paizo doesn't really seem to have a solid grasp on what's going on or has gone on. That can start to filter through to the Faction as well, especially in the seasons 2-4.
But all in all, it should serve you well. They had some pretty awesome Faction Missions. I remember two (part of a two parter) where Taldor had to mouth off to a crime lord, get beaten to a pulp then utter a code phrase that made the crime lord stop and think just who was being put in their place.
But, and I should have emphasized this more, you can make any Faction work. Just because Cheliax is all about Devils, Law, and infernalism, doesn't mean your Ulfen Barbarian can't have some reason to work with them. Maybe you heard about their special cookies and are on a mission for your people to find out the secret.
Or maybe, while you don't care about Andoran, you like some of their political ideals (or just the idea of smashing up a few Chelaxian ships and breaking a few skulls, (and really, who better than Cheliax, right).

Great advice. Hopefully sometime down the road I get to play in one of your games.
