Tomorrow is the day of Kalevala, or the day of the Finnish culture.
While for some it's a day to celebrate culture and to be proud of your nationality, for us it's a day of sorrow and pain. For us it's the national holiday of cultural appropriation.

That steady old Väinämöinen heads south across the ice and snow on a sledge from his exile in the frozen wastes of Pohjola and attempts—without success—to flirt with the lovely lady alive in the sky. 🖼️N.C. Wyeth

The traditional seat of the Kryze family is Kalevala, and Satine is known as both Duchess of Kalevala and Duchess of Mandalore.

The Kalevala is a Finnish epic poem from the 19th century, though the stories it records are from folktales that are far older.

The OC vs the Inspiration
Lmao Runo started partly from the idea of wanting to do a bard that plays Kantele as their instrument inspired by Väinämöinen from Kalevala, and the looks and bit of backstory/personality were based on my old Neopet character who was a RoyalBoy Kyrii...

Well, the first serious work drawn in Georgia and it seems that I haven't lost much in quality!😅 If you like Kalevala and Finnish mythology, you can guess the plot in the basis😉

Inspired by the Finnish Myth of Aino. Her brother trades her in marriage to a wizard (an old man)in exchange for his life. She’s so upset she rather drown herself than marry him. She becomes a salmon and escapes…and the fish mock the wizard. My fav story in Kalevala

The Death of Balder and everything surrounding it is a deeply intricate and fascinating topic, clues to which we find scattered across everything from Old English poetry to the Finnish Kalevala. Yet as relates to Rurik (and ultimately Amleth), it is but one competing background
