	What is Yule, exactly? Is it specifically Norse? (You're Norse, right?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Technically no to the Norse. Norse refers to Norsemen. They worshiped the Æsir and the Vanir as their gods. My parents are Æsir, my father is currently the Allfather and King of Asgard, after his father passed. They've become associated with the Norse.

Yule is a winter festival that has connections to my grandfather. It was traditionally celebrated by a specific group of people that in include Norsemen.

(I think. I was never officially taught any of this.)

	Got it! We didn't have much in the way of religion or gods back home, so this is all still new to me. (It definitely sounds official to me. This is easier to understand than my attempts at Googling.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I started to do a little digging in recent years. What was left of my world didn't leave much room for religion either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm glad you got to get away from there. The closest we had to it was our higher ups in the Horde trying to get us to believe the head guy was basically a god - which kind of worked, I guess. We were definitely all a little bit afraid of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fear goes a long way, especially when someone knows how to wield it to their advantage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately true. But anyway, I'm sure we'll swing by for the party! My tolerance is awful, but I can watch Catra get drunk. That's always fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll also have non-alcoholic beverages and food there too, so something for everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	legendaryhero 2021-12-01 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	I never turn down food! Or sharp objects, for that matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sharp objects are always a big hit. People start breaking out trick shots and things get interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oooh, I can't wait to see that. I wish I was fancy enough to have trick shots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	childofthor 2021-12-01 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe you'll pick something up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	legendaryhero 2021-12-01 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe! Or I can ask Gideon to teach me first so I'm prepared. 🤔 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't tell anyone what you learn, come prepared to win the competition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's have dinner together tonight, I can tell you stories and help fill knowledge gaps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	childofthor 2021-12-01 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if it's possible to fill in every gap but sounds good to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-12-01 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Oh there's probably plenty of that knowledge that has been lost to me because of time and one too many drinks, but I do have something to offer. (Reply to this) (Parent)
