Not accounting for Xianxia Timeline, we're only 200-500 years off from him in terms of dates. That's not too weird, honestly.

I mean, this is a whole different history and cosmology. We have knights in full plate at the same time as Vikings. The Sea Peoples using steel in this universe would be a much smaller departure from history than that.
Steel is clearly highly magical in this setting, so not necessarily.

could we potentially switch to Christianity and cultivate that way or are you locked in once you select a system?
also any plans for a knightly cultivation quest at some point? i know it'd be interested

There's a very real chance that women straight up can't cultivate Christianity style, or at the very least can't become Knights.
The Christian God is very big on rules.

IF said a while back that this is an option, but it's not considered a Good End (More of a Neutral End, it'll work in terms of resolving the main plot, but it's also probably banging the nail in the coffin for the death of the Norse System)
Maybe if this continues being awesome though, we could get something like that as a sequel? Who knows!

There's a Nobiliary path of cultivation which I'm sure women can follow, and I bet nuns can follow the Clerical path, and there's a fourth path called Errants as well which may well be open to women just by being undefined, but yeah, Chivalric cultivation may not be an option for women, depending.

Calling it the christainity style feels weird, when it's so heavily based on feudalism, which.. doesn't feel inherently Christian?
Like, you say sagas, longboat raiding, fighting trolls and Draugrs, bitter revenge and family feuds, kennings- all combine to feel very ancient Nordic.
But.. there's nothing particularly Christian about a knight path and an aristocrat path and a priest path, or about feudalism?
I dunno. It's weird. Knights are very European, yes, but they have extremely similar equivalents all over the world, just by a different name..

It's probably not entirely correct given that some Christians follow other cultivation styles, but the followers of the Feudal/Catholic style do literally have Prayers where we have Tricks and are powered by religious faith...they are very Christian and have to be for their cultivation to work. Calling it the Christian style is pretty understandable, especially from non-Christians who have to deal with it a lot.

I mean nuns do exist.
i was just curious how Christianity would effect the cultivation of other cultures since it was so widespread in our world and proved itself to be very adaptable to different cultures and ways of thought. not to mention the norse do eventually convert to Christianity otl and even have a couple of crusades launched against them.
guess the core of my question is are the two systems utterly incompatible or is there a blending that can happen like when Ireland converted and kept their gods and a good bit of their traditions but incorporated them into their new religion as saints or other practices?

It's been mentioned that, despite being religiously Christian, the Byzantines follow a highly modified version of a Roman Cultivation style. So I think the answer is that the religion of Christianity can be combined with non-religious cultivation styles, or those that can have their religious elements adapted, but that you can't actually mix cultivation styles per se.

be cool if you could lmao
although I think by this point Christian vikings might have historically started being a thing. might be an interesting boss battle to take on a rival Norseman only for him to have a second phase where he starts amping himself up with Christian fervor
Note to self:
Get an apiary going.
Is how to make hives something Halla knows?
Does she know any beekepers?
Hm, Jotun are to be avoided iirc, but dwarves are neutral (neither for nor against humanity/the Aesir), willing to trade and associated with crafting.
Once we have the smithing trait we may wanna keep making tools until we have a spare tool of high quality that we can go and sacrifice to them.
How about lightning?
Make a weapon from the electricity special iron and hit the steel with that. It blocks the strike but conducts the electricity. May also work for steelfathers, depending on how their skin works (ignoring that bypassing their armor only solves part of the issue).

Just double checking my search-fu hasn't totally failed, have we gotten any information on Jewish cultivation? Or more detail than "it exists" for Islamic cultivation? Wondering if the systems for the Abrahamic religions are related/similar or not

Just went back and read some of the earlier chapters and we should definitely get a couple of daggers scabberds to place around our body, why you ask? If grappeled, having the ability to pull out a dagger from a scabberd on your knee or under your armpit or at your ass will do wonders for breaking any hold on you. They are also just genuienly good to have, you can never have too many knives.
And if we ever get face to face with Horra we can say "Knife to meet you." while stabbing him.

We have not, no. I don't think we even technically got the 'it exists', though I think it's clear it does.
A sax or two as additional backup weapons is a fine idea.

They are a bit big if you ask me i meant more emergency daggers for getting grappled, like knights having a knee dagger so when locking shields the could drop their sword and stab the other fellow. Or if your in a chokehold and cant get out having a dagger at your side to quickly stab the man choking you.
