Oh! I did not expect my own questions to be flipped back on me, which in hindsight was probably silly. Ha ha.
Weell!
Okay then,
- I view Svefrans as a little bit of gypsies (like you say), merchants, pirates and explorers all rolled into one. I also think they're just regular people, who happen to live on the ocean. They're people with a rich heritage, and I think they're probably quite proud people. Most of all, they're a culture who value freedom, I think.
- Unfortunately, I don't have a favourite place either! I'd probably say the Northern Sea, but I don't know really. I'm quite drawn by the Middle bit where it's all a little dangerous, sounds pretty fun xD
- That's a really awesome song! I'll have a look properly later, but I'd say that it probably doesn't need any changing. Plus, I'm rubbish at writing song lyrics, so xD
- Karin too is landed, in Alvadas. She's spent most of her life there though, so she's quite an isolated Svefran, bless her. But like yourself, she's planning to go and explore soon, save up and buy a casinor and the like.
- I can totally agree with the free aspect. I don't really know why I picked being Svefran, but it's probably to do with the ocean, as I've always loved the sea irl. There's just something about the power and ferociousness of the sea which completely entrances me. It's so raw and powerful and yet at the same time so beautiful and peaceful so, that's one reason. And Svefrans themselves are exactly like you say, so freeing. And yet at the same time so grounded, in the family life, and the worship. They're just a really cool culture.
Thanks for that Kai'! if there's any other Svefrans out there, don't be shy! Waves crazily.
