> I've recorded sweat lodges for some Far Place steads
(the Finnish analogue /> Kalevala inspiration looms
large for me generally)> but am not sure if they're
entirely appropriate for Sartar. Thoughts and
comments?
I've been toying with them for some work I've been doing on the Exiles, but so far I have been hesitating. My chief concern is that whenever I go the sauna I find it hard to breath, the hot air is stifling, almost suffocating. Due to the heat everyone remains motionless. I just have trouble with that being Orlanthi, it feels more like Lodril. Maybe someone can paint a different picture for me, or tell me I worry too much.
PS Well the sig seemed kind of appropriate - might swap it for an appopriate saga quote soon : D
"Women as well as men were recruited to restrain combatants, sometimes dampening their weapons by throwing clothing over them. Peacemaking of this sort required srength and courage more than negotiating skills...The clothing was more sign than substance, like the bell signalling the end of a round, and it seems that the sign was not without significant cultual force." - Bloodtaking and Peacemaking by William Ian Miller
