A few details of interest, mostly consisting of remarks on what dead drawn people are depicted wearing:
- Judging from the clothes worn it seems that perhaps Ragnar Arnason was a mage, but Reynir's father is not. The latter is depicted in plainclothes. Sigridur is wearing something that looks like mage garbs - so it is hard to say if magical talent simply skipped from Ragnar to Reynir or if Reynir's mom also has some talent. It is interesting to note that Arni, from the prologue, is also wearing mage garbs here.
- Similarly, and again on the basis of what they are shown wearing - it appears that Lalli may have had to mage parents, as both Tuulikki and Jukka wear tunics with patterns on their collar in the manner of Ukko-Pekka, whereas Juha (totally not the twins from A Red tail's dream) seemed to have married a non-mage (Anne-Mari also stands out as a bit of an odd name here - maybe it's more common than I am inclined to believe in Finland) - Onni inheriting the magic talent of his father. In case I am misreading this it means that magic talent skipped that generation and unto Lalli and Onni. BUT. Since magic in Finland is taught within families and with a master-apprentice dynamics, this means that either Ukko-Pekka was still around to teach them OR their respective parents were able to teach either of them. That Ukko-Pekka was in the picture seems unlikely to me, so I am thinking parents, until Onni took over Lalli's training when parents ceased being a thing. I am also assuming, again here from clothes depicted, that Ensi was a non-magic user. None of the prologue Hotakainen were established as magic sensitive so it would make sense that perhaps magic was introduced via husband in the second generation.
- While we have never met them I feel confident that Mille and Malthe Madsen are little monsters.
- I am having a hard time telling if Arni Ragnarsonn has either some mad sideburns or if that's just his hair.
- What is Emil even wearing here. No seriously. Everyone else in his family tree is wearing "DEFAULT CIVILIAN PLAINCLOTHES". Is this what the burninators wear? Or perhaps... it is foreshadowing and Emil will be revealed to be sensitive to magic and go on to become a swedish mage?
