What type of scenery I wish to see in Nod Krai as a Finnish person
We know that Nod Krai will be at least partly inspired by Finland and I just went on a hike in Finnish Lapland. So I got inspired, here's some typical Finnish nature things I wish Nod Krai would include:
I personally just really love how nordic swamps look like, so I wish to see them in genshin as well. So moss and hay for vegetation, small trees far apart and of course Cloudberries. There's hope for this as Nod Krai will include Lakkaberries (Lakka is one word in Finnish for a Cloud berry), although based on this artickle below the berries will be quite different from real Cloud berries. Bonus points if the paths in the swamps are made out of wooden planks and you get wet or even consume stamina when you get off the plancks. Walking in a swamp is actually really though and your feet are quaranteed to get wet if you don't wear rubber boots (and there's no planks).
A fruit as white as pearl that tastes refreshingly sweet. In the legends of the Frostmoon Scions, these fruits, like Kuuhenki, are a gift fr
Picture 1. A Finnish swamp. The white flower are called "Tupasvilla", and they're like small ppm poms that are super soft to the touch.
Picture 2. The best way to move through a swamp if it's available.
Old nordic forests are so pretty. There's big rocks left over from the ice age, old trees that have died standing and turned grey as well as a lot of fallen down trees and ant hills.
Picture 3. lots of rocks in the forest!
Picture 4. Dead tree still standing, it's called "Kelo" in Finnish.
Nod Krai is not inspired just by Finland, but since Finland is a big inspiration and it is the country of a thousand lakes (actually over hundred thousand but that sounds snappier I guess) it would be insane if there would be no lakes. I also personally hope that it would have these gently sloping mountains /hills that are super common in Lapland. If they have trees at the top, they're called "vaara" and if not, then "tunturi".
Pictures 5 & 6. quite typical Finnish forest lakes in my experience.
Pictures 7 & 8. Views from Riisitunturi, a Finnish mountain.
Nod Krai doesn't seem to be a huge area but I hope that at least one of the islands would have northern nature in it because it is so beautiful to me and would feel pretty distinct from the current environments. If any of my wishes come true, I'll be super happy!
