This passage looks weird to me... Even beside the "were they were".

"They're calling you Longstride"
"What were they calling me?"
"My name is X, and they're calling you Longstride"

Looks fine to me ('were they were' aside, anyway...that is an error), there are other sentences in there that make it make sense, IMO, including a leading sentence from Halla that basically asks for his name.

Like, it actually goes more like:

"They're calling you Longstride (proceeds to ramble on about other complimentary stuff)"
"Thanks Mr...? And wait, what was that first bit about what they were calling me?"
"My name is X, and they're calling you Longstride"

I still can't wait for us to have to become the sun for a bit, given how our luck and rolls are going.

By the way, can we expect an infopost on raids, felags, etc.? Although I wouldn't want to add to the pressure you already have regarding the interludes and other infoposts that haven't been written.

Alright, voting is now closed. And since I had this lying around, a rough sketch from me of a slightly older Halla with all her stokables active. Still can't draw hands or faces or feet.

You can. I'll probably include it in the AN of the next update.

I'm also, like, a third/two-fifths of the way through Sten and Steinarr's interlude.
 
[X] "Yes, yes I do." (Join Folkmarr's felag and raid with them. +6 Relations with Folkmarr and +3 with his felag. +8 Orthstirr)
-[X] (Optional) "But on one condition; my husband joins too." (Take a gamble. If Abjorn passed you'll look foolish. If he didn't, then you'll be quite the loyal wife.)

I don't care for this man as he is clearly not awesome like Abjorn (awesome meaning on-board with us being a weird little power hungry munchkin). So id rather be with Abjorn than get 8 orthstirr.

This is the only warband on offer, so Abjorn gets to go with us either way if he passes the trials (which he will). The 'only if my husband comes' thus makes it look like we don't have faith in him if he succeeds at the trial (which, again, he will)...it would look good if he failed, but that's not happening. I was initially confused as well, but it actually shows more faith in Abjorn to not add the optional addendum.

Also, the vote is over, but it seems worth noting why we didn't collectively vote for said optional addendum. We're pretty much all ride or die with Abjorn, I think, but the addendum doesn't actually reinforce that very well.

Real quick, what information are you looking for here? Obviously on raids and felags, but is there anything else besides that?

I guess On interactions between cultivation systems, we already know runes from other cultures can be used by us due to the meteor from the east but I presume there is better documentation on repurposing or converting Christian objects for Norse use

They'd be Christian in this era (this is basically the late 800s in terms of which religions are where), but it's been mentioned that there's a Christian system (or two), the system used by the Byzantines (which is a highly modified version of the Roman one, though the people who practice it are still Christian), ones for China, Korea, and Japan, one for Islamic cultivators, and presumably others in other places (like Sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, and Australia) that our QM just hasn't come up with. Plus the Norse system, obviously. EDIT: And Hindu cultivation, which I temporarily spaced but has apparently been thought out.

So less pantheons, more cultures, though there's a lot of overlap there.

Sort of to the first. There aren't really any large groupings who follow the Greek gods anymore, but there are cultivators who are Greek. There are some Pagan cultivators to the east, in the Baltics, and they're not going anywhere any time soon.

If you want classical Greek mythology cultivation, I recommend reading Virtuous Sons, which is one of the inspirations for this Quest.

I'd tell you, but that would be spoilers, smile.

Also, I was more referring to things related to raids and felags, my bad for not clarifying.

Eh, nothing in particular, no. I mainly want to know the goal of raids usually, targets of interest, how a raid is usually carried out, etc.

Other people may have some questions, though?

Also, say if someone made a cultivation system for the cultures that currently don't have one, would it be made canon? Not that I'm offering to make one any time soon - way too anxious to attempt to do that.

My only thought in terms of questions is how closely orthstirr and wealth go together and the relationship between them. Because, as I understand it, most Viking raids in real history were done basically for money, and that money was then used to buy goods at home, but also display status and come off as important and powerful. In this setting that seems to imply a money/orthstirr link that we haven't gotten to explore yet.

Like, we haven't had lots of money as of yet so some of the cultural expectations that go with getting a bunch of plunder that would help gain orthstirr and avoid nid seem relevant.
