Wasn't it a country that contained territorial parts of todays Estonia and Latvia? (until conquered by the swedish???)

and the language is related to finnish.

According to legend the danish flag 'Dannebrog' fell from the sky in Estonia and signaled victory to the Danes over the Estonians in 1219.

Estonia! Sure, I know a bit about it. My brother and his wife are currently living in Narva. I definitely hope to visit one day! I've seen some gorgeous pictures around Talinn and Narva and some beautiful beaches too. My brother says it's a wonderful country full of very friendly people.

My first introduction to Estonia was when I was running a Vampire campaign. One of my players was an Estonian Brujah. She was the best character in the game. I was obliged to learn a bit about it to play with that character's history.
