Inspiration: Hoarland hunter-gatherers

This page is a nice summary of what I've read of Sapmi and the Sami, which are the inspiration behind Hoarland and the Hoarlanders.

Antonios, this kind of thing is what I'll be using to determine which bonus skills are appropriate for Hoarland barbarians.

Looks good to me. Unless I understand it wrong, the average Sami (and his fantasy-equivalent) can do a bit of everything in his native environment, and not be over specialized in something (even though there will be something that can be a habitual or usual craft). That's how I imagine the skills of Pyry. Being a butcher/tanner/something, but he can fish, track, survive, blah, you name it. You have the books, so knock yourself out.

[Incidentally, I had a ton of ideas for the backstory today in the metro. Just wish to see the final character when you have him ready to start fitting things.]

Yup - that's pretty much what the Survival skill covers.
