Cimorene

or in fact the eddas--i guess the scandinavian lore is similar. this one is the latest one i know of, though. it wasn't assembled and written until 1800s. i don't know, maybe the finns were an unusually primitive people--i mean, i know that they were, and maybe that was why.

as for finnish lore, tolkien dug it and in part based middle-earth and lotr on it, but it's not really one of the great civilisations of the world. there aren't even 5 million inhabitants in finland, and a couple of percent are of swedish or russian descent and some more are immigrants or sami. so it's really not very famous.

this icon? :) it's always nice when there's good composition in the source image and you don't have to work to get a good icon.
