Northern Culture Revision

[MonMarty]

Oh man it's raining revisions as of late. And boy what more do we have in store.​

Reason:

• Northern Screamers

Links:

• https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Velheim

Effects:

• Complete revision of Northern Lore.
• New Oldt Fayth Religion.
• Expanded mini-self-driving nobility-esque-thing among Velheimer.
• Aloria's first recorded Prophecy, which can come true in Progressions, woo!

Player Effects:

• A lot of cultural changes. Like. A lot.
• The term "Northern" or "Northerne" is not really appropriate anymore, but is still backwards compatible in cultural terminology from the southern cultural perspective.

Honestly, it's too big to explain, so y'all North-folk should just read it. It's probably the most expansive cultural lore in existence now. There shouldn't be too much character swapping to be done, we've mostly kept it structured in such a way that the old lore was still compatible (as little as there was), but spiced it up with a whole lot more content for a relatively popular culture.

This is a northern change, not a southern change.

I have to say. I love this update. Gotta do a bit adjusting on the 'ole char app, but besides that, I love how in depth this is.

I enjoy the new Gods yet the naming custom still gets me.

Questions

• Does this mean all the northern terminology in other lore texts will be changed to Velheim? (pictures, text etc.)
• All the 'naming customs' words come from Viking/Norse language, yes?
• Balltarc, Seltai etc is now null?

1. Ideally yes, but because the term Northerne is still backwards compatible, it doens't have to. I might instruct a Lore Staff member to do a full Wiki term swap, or I may not. It depends on whether the new culture is going to cause confusion.
2. All naming customs come from scandinavia, but there are local variations. Baltic/Urgic/Icelandic names can still be used in most cases.
3. Balltarc and Seltai are null. Seltai were quasi-inherited by Highland Ceardian while Balltarc simply lost traction because of lack of interest.
