Something I've been thinking of when using norse mythologies and whatnot in modern media, like the inclusion of old norse language, I think we're missing something when it comes to representation. We don't have just Icelandic that is closely related to old norse. We have Faroese and Elfdalian as well. While not as closely related (and Elfdalian being actively murdered in Sweden), I think their inclusion would make media using old norse mythologies as inspiration richer. And help the languages survive in the long run. We've got plenty of people passionate about asatro and all associated mythologies, and it would be a shame that the languages we still have that are still related to old norse so closely aren't being utilized.

I prefer the original Faroese...how about you?
