Ahtojää is a type of ice that covers a sea. Ahti is the god of sea. Not that saying that fixes anything, but I keep trying. Meh.

I believe you - I'm just repeating what's in the 1e D&DG book.

IIRC, Aht*mumble* appeared as a green-skinned dwarf - is that from the Kalevala?

BTW, another Njord question: what does 3e D&DG list as his holy symbol and favored weapon? (Please forgive me for not looking this up myself - I can't tell which of the dozen identical cardboard boxes in the garage has my copy of the book in it, and I don't have time to go searching at the moment... :\ )

I can sympathize with having stuff in boxes which are inconveniently placed. Njord's symbol is a gold coin, and his favored weapon is the longspear.

Ahti is sometimes used as a name for Lemminkainen in the Kalevala, including by his mother. Ahti/Ahto (I've seen both names used) is depicted with a beard of moss, and his consort is Vellamo.

Thanks very much!

The little snippets of Finnish mythology that I've read here and there sound fascinating - the Kalevala is on my list of "one of these days" books to read.

If you remember to pronounces Elias Lonnrot as "lurn-root" and Vainamoinen as "Vine-a-mur-nun", you'll be off to a good start
