Norway and Trolls

[cathschaffstump]

Whacky writer research trip to do very soon: Decorah, Ia because it has the Vesterheim Museum, and I need loads more information on Norwegian culture and Decorah, since it's the first scene of the new version of Gossamer and Veridian

Also lots of reading about trolls. I took some Germanic myth back in my undergraduate days, and all that time with the Aesir and the Jaetta just came in handy.

Gotta give those old Norwegians some cultural habits, and something to see.

Way back when I did a lot of research on the Huldru-folk, some of which I used for a character in one of your Raintree campaigns you may recall. Fun stuff.

Speaking of troll stories, here's an adaptation of one by Kaja Foglio:
