✿ Why did you decide that [Mordecai speaks Norwegian in the AU]?
Dominantly I wanted a region that had a bit of variety for “Gallia” but still maintained that warrior culture with feats of food and strength - the Nordic countries are both known for a recent neo-cuisine food boom and their Nordic strongmen, so it was clear to me that Mord (and Skrimir) would come from there if I were to base it off the real world. Skrimir’s affluence as prince could easily be transferred into being the son/nephew of a rich businessman, which fit quite well too with the Nordic economic outlook.
