Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for.

  • laughs in Egyptian...

    They had 5 or 6 intercalary holidays to celebrate the new year and adjust to the rise of the Nile (and we'd adjust it to astronomical time with leap years). It actually worked really well, and kept the people happy with a 5-day rest and celebration each year (something this world could definitely use).

  • Congratulations, you've successfully reinvented the Egyptian civil calendar, complete with the intercalary holidays and all. Literally the only change is to add weeks. And yes, it did work really well, especially since the feast could add or lose a day to adjust to a known reference (the rise and fall of the Nile in their case). I second this proposal to go back.

    • The Valkyries will sing of my valor!

    Jump

  • Yes, that's a contemporary interpretation. Most people wouldn't want to go to Válhöll, and even the majority of warriors would rather rest in Helheim. And, of those chosen by the Valkyries, half to go Fólkvangur with Freyja. You also don't have to die in battle necessarily. A legendary warrior who earns Odin's favor might go even if he dies of age raising sons to be warriors (a very respectable position).

    • The Valkyries will sing of my valor!

    Jump

  • Very much so, yes. Honestly Válhöll is a little hardcore for most warriors (Berserkers would have a blast though). But tbh Helheim is a pretty nice place if you aren't itching for bloodshed...

    • In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

    Jump

  • That would be an interesting one, because I speak enough old norse and Latin to pass as a foreigner from the far east (until they realise I don't speak Arabic). But 2523 English will be unrecognizable, and worse, they'd probably recognize our "old" English. It's like if Shakespeare showed up today, vs some guy from the future who barely speaks English and pretends to only speak an uncommon foreign language.
