#story: hold my beer la creatrice is wrong on this one so fucking bad

I should change my blog name to Captain of Icebrood Saga defense squad because I play so much of it it’s not even healthy. Yes it’s one of my IBS lore posts.

But Drizzlewood is old norn territory, right? I mean Leadfoot Village has abandoned norn homesteads there; nearby is the Olafson Farmstead. And with the place where the Spirits first revealed themselves to the norn also being in Drizzlewood, it makes perfect sense that old Spirit magics would linger there.

And that leads me to a headcanon I think is kinda neat - the role of shamans, or shaman-adjacent norn individuals there. Specifically Sanne. Because she does have a pretty strong connection to the Mists and is a Shaman in all but name, many of the norn volunteers and soldiers there flock to her and people like her for guidance.

And not just that; they can tap into those energies lingering there. I think Sanne’s abilities as a Mist-attuned person did come in handy and earned her quite a bit of recognition, as well as attention to her hunting. I like to think she hunted with the guidance of the Spirits and although before Forward Camp she and Nyra did sabotage together, Sanne called the shots here. It’s her land. It’s her forte.

Those same shamanic abilities would come in handy later, because she did work with Braham on trying to open the ancient norn citadel door (and that’s where they fell in love ;)) ) which lead to her being one of the two norn who saw Jormag’s last awakening (alongside Braham ofc.)

TL;DR Drizzlewood gave Sanne’s legend quite a boost and cemented her as one of the heroes of the norn. Just not in the way she envisioned when she was a kid. Is it time to ponder new nicknames for her..?
