Those poems are ones where story about courting and marriage (18-25) and death (32-33)of one(oldest?) daughter is the plot. There are references in later poems to the girls but if no names are given in ones where they are central characters...

Especially on part where Väinämöinen is seeking knowledge on boatbuilding from dead.<br />However Pohjola is even more heavily associated with ice and magic then Tuonela (Hades, really similarities are heavy) so daughters of Crone of North would probably fit better to role of Ice Queen. Unfortunately I don't think they are actually named anywhere. <br />I apparently mixed two diffent daughters of north previously. Ilmarinen first eventually won one as his wife, then later she mistreated a slave who eventually indirectly killed her. Then Ilmarinen tried to get a replacment from Pohjola, but has to kidnap a new wife. Did not end well.<br />Do you want me to check weather Old Crone's daughters are actually named?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410410722782252427.post-57787622875859054612013-04-29T19:03:03.697-06:002013-04-29T19:03:03.697-06:00I just thought I would offer a name, though there ...I just thought I would offer a name, though there is a fairly good chance that it has been over abused in America.<br /><br />Skaði or Skadi, from German Heathenism.

Playing with words and the meanings of words is something I like to do for fun. Playing with plots and story concepts is another. <br /><br />Sometimes when I write I do gibberish names too. It's fun.

Keep up good work!<br /><br />As a finn, though I'm not an expert in finnish mythology, I think you are slighly confusing underworld (Tuoni) and Northland (Pohjola). They are not quite the same thing most of the time, especially when Daughters of Northland are courted.
