Talk:Bjornhild Solvigsdottir


 * Why she black?
 * Because that's what the authors decided to write her as? -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 21:09, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * But she's a Reghed! Aren't they like, Norse people?
 * Need to check book, there might be context of physical description. She could be adopted or child of a mixed relationship. There are precedents. Also Realmsian cultures' similarities with earth's humans are very surface level and vary. Hope this helps. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 22:19, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * They are mostly like Norse people, but not all of them. Reghedmen descended from those of ancient Illusk. Illusk itself started off as a community of different clans of hunters and fishers (around -3000 DR). However, they weren't isolated, and were raided. They even got help from the empire of Netheril at some point, so there could have been some intermingling with different nations. Generally, they are said to have been tall, fair-haired (blond, red, light brown), and blue-eyed, i.e., similar to the Norse. However, their skin has been "bronzed" by the sun, giving their faces the look of tough leather. Barbarian tribes rarely, but do, except outsiders, so perhaps she is one of those, or a descendant of one. Barbarians may have also taken other means to repopulate their tribes. There are lots of explanations. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 00:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

I tought Reghed came from the Ruathym settlers of Icewind Dale?
