One that puzzles me, and I wasn't sure where else to put it.
In the books, Torvaldslanders are pretty much clearly of earthen Nordic stock. In all of the earthen Nordic countries, the sauna or sweat house has been a common fixture for many many centuries...I've seen references to it in some of the oldest records found....so wouldn't it stand to reason that Torvs would have brought the institution with them? I can't see it being given up entirely just because of moving to a new planet, but maybe I'm missing something?
