Good to know. Another cool nordic region.

Skellige is celtic, not nordic. Think Ireland/Scotland rather than Norway/Sweden.

Skellige is a combination of Celtic/Scottish and Viking culture

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's a mix, even if the names are more celtic, the culture is inspired by norse culture. CDPR initially considered having the people of Skellige speak Norwegian.

But Skellige is known for the drakkar(longships), that's nordic no?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Aye, but also Celtic because of Nordic influence.

If you click this link and scroll down to the gallery you can see what are essentially Viking longships but in a Celtic nation.

Celtic and Nordic cultures have a lot of similarities because of geographic proximity but they're also distinctly their own.

Skellige was very clearly heavily Nordic inspired. Ragh nahr Roog?

The Scottish Hebrides have changed hands between Celtic, Norse, and later Scots ownership multiple times. The area has a smorgasbord of cultural influences.

Skellige is similar, it's Celtic with a huge slathering of Nordic, but still ultimately Celtic at the end of the day.
