You know something cool I learned about viking history? Vikings apparently weren't all white. Through kidnapping and marriage and stuff, people of other races would join Viking clans and live among them, even gaining high social status. There were black vikings, middle eastern Vikings, asian Vikings. Definitely opens up customization for characters in your game, while not sacrificing accuracy

Oh, yes! That's a part of history - not just the Viking age - I think we don't see/hear enough about - d i v e r s i t y (*cough* white-washing *cough*).

In MH, Thorin is mixed with an African mother, Sigurd's ethnicity is Chinese, Majida is from Iran, and MC will also have the choice to have a mixed ethnicity.

Thanks for the ask, anon ♡

Okay, Thorin keeping the wooden armband mc gave him is the purest thing and I think he is holding my heart now, are we gonna see this tender moment in the game or a reference to it, Oli?

Yes! You will get to see it in the beginning of chapter one :) and if I don't remember to bring it up in his romance route in the future please yell at me

Meaning: “Ash”

Age: 25

Height: 5’8”

Æsc's skin tone is fair and their face is covered in freckles. They have only recently started to grow out their shoulder-length straight, light brown hair, and braiding it similar to the Norse people they've found themselves among. Their dark grey eyes are sharp - hiding an intelligent and ever-curious mind in a dangerous world. In the last year, their medium build has gained some muscle under the tutelage of Jarl Björn.

Hi, super excited for this, there aren't many Norse/Viking WIPs! I was just wondering how old the MC and ROs were?

MC & Frode are 25

Thorin is 28

Eydis is 26

Sigurd is 24

Björn is 32

Æsc is 25

Majida is 29

Their names(plus their meanings and pronunciation), ages, and physical description will be in the individual character pages I’ll release later today and tomorrow :)

Thank you for the ask!

[mannaheim-if]

Hi! Love the premise of your IF and can’t wait to see the demo. I had a question though, will there be poly’s with 2 men aswell? Or only with one female and one male?

Eventually, yes, there’s another male RO that hasn’t been introduced that will have a poly route with Thorin :)

Thanks for the ask!

[mannaheim-if]

Authorrr can you tell us more about mc's twin and their relationship with the mc please? (Like, do they get along? How far will they go for the mc?)

Frode and you got along at least in your childhood and they've saved your life twice.

If the current relationship is great or terrible will be up to MC, but even if you don't get along anymore (or at the moment) the two of you have had to communicate over the last year to run Kanaug.

Unless your relationship is really hellish, your brother would do anything for you.

Thanks for the ask :)
