Reanna mentions having been a 'shield maiden'.
IIrc, that's a Scandinavian / Viking thing.

But... as I said before, we're talking about a fictional fantasy realm.
Tink may draw a generalized inspiration from certain cultures, but the details are very hodge podge.
As you write, it's a completely fictional world. On the other hand, Thinkerer sticks to folklore quite a bit and somehow I still feel that the PQ world is quite similar to ours. Asia in the east. The black continent in the south. Giants from the north...
And I couldn't find anyone with a similar name in Norse folklore. In Celtic, it's Rhiannon...


Actually, I completely agree with DomWolf on this, I just feel that Wierwood is situated in places that would probably correspond to the 7-10 meridian

Gaelic might be better than Welsh :p they are geographically close enough to have crossovers,, she is Irish in my head cannon taking into account the red hair and fiery temperament.


Yeah but Scandinavian/Norse people are no strangers to red hair. In fact the mythic Thor was known for his red hair because it represented a fiery & boisterous personality. And as mentioned by EmperorGus she was a shield maiden which were a Scandinavian thing.

I think the Northern Tribes are most Likely a mash-up of "barbaric" cultures. A hodgepodge of cultures that were seen as savage brutes by the more "civilised" southerners (Vikings, Scots, Germanic Tribes ect).

I'm working on trying yo map out the overall layout of the PQ world based on info I gathered from the game & from Tinkerer himself. As PhineasFlynn said, Tinkerer has taken inspiration from IRL, as he said he sees the world very much like our Earth, with a sing landmass made of 2 continents (Eurasia & Africa) & the islands of the Elven Realm in the west (replacing the Americas).

I seem to have lost my familiar. When her baby disappeared and I got the quest to get it back, I just popped into the other dimension, grabbed the orb, then came back; I was doing another quest, and didn’t wand to spend much time there, thinking I’d go back afterwards to explore properly. Thing is, now I can’t get back. All I can do is give the orb to Erevi, who sets up the baby room, but then my familiar never reappears. I tried going in and out of the monastery and other areas to “reset” her, but she doesn’t show up. Did I glitch my game?

As I wrote, I don't want to argue, I just expressed my opinion and asked a question.

A lengthy essay could be written about the accidental similarity of European/American and Asian names, but it's probably not worth getting into.
But as a Slav, I still only know one girl with that name.
It' not an argument. Just to say that any name can occur in any place and not all need to have the same origin or meaning. It can also be just a coincedent. Or some one just think the name is cool.

Try it in your room in Tower. There is option to leave familiar here.

You need to also find them while in the other dimension, sounds like you just got the orb and left. Try going back there & finding them (you might have to use the same Waystone as before). If that isn't an option, yeah, they're probably lost. Do you have a save from before you grabbed the orb?

Heh, so it seems Daiyu's client from the sewers is a different person than the baron's wife after all. I knew she (baron's wife) looked too different than the beauty we saw in the sewers. I'm curious to find out what we'll see about all three of the new characters.

Just checking, did you edit anything? Or install the gallery/cheat mod? Those can bork the game even if you changed something that seems unrelated to what's busted.
EDIT: Oh! Did you install the new Spicy mod (v1.2), or just use the previous version? 3.75 has some new ED content, using the older Spicy might be causing the issue with ED.
yes I did... what to do now?? also I couldn't do the beastality mod also...
