I am from Norway in europe (where all the vikings lived)
its funny to see that the names the "Nords" use in morrowind is linked to Norwegian.
Examples:
Fjell = Mountain
Udyr = Monster
Frykte = Fear
Ben / bein = Bone
Stygg = Ugly
Stein = Rock
i dont remember many of the rest of the names in solstenheim right now but very very many is taken right out of the Norwegian language.
Nordic language

Also,
"Berg" is synonymous to "fjell", mountain that is...

True home of the Vikings kenned? It was WE who invaded england! You danish people mostly plundered southwards didnt you?! ^_^
Well we did that to.
But lets not start the "Whos best," argue.
We both did some damage on the world, it was the swedish that was lamest
By the way do you remember more words in solsthenheim thats scandinavian?
Sol - sten - heim = Sun - Stone - Home to think of it...

Lief Erikcsson is said to have discovered the US of A (more probably Canada) and Greenland is a case to consider. Ah, at what point in time does history replace a conqueror? Do the Brits still own Calais? Has Israel a right to lands it lost 2000 years before?
Don't go there. It will end in tears!
