Does anyone know anything about pre-Christian Finnish warriors or a website about it?
Just need to know a tiny bit of information.
Thanks

As far as I know there were none.
Finland has never been land of the warriors. Warriors we had are the militia (farmers) during the swedish reign or crazy hobos before the swedish reign.
The best piece of literature I can direct you is Kalevala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala
Don Rosa made a great cartoon about kalevala.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in. |

Basically this.... and from what research I've managed on the Vikings, they viewed the Finns as something of Mystics, and not to be trusted (similar to like Merlin, or other powerful wizard type folks who use magic for good/evil deeds), rather than warriors. Either way, for whatever reason, the Finns were content on their lands, and by and large the other "Viking Nations" were content to leave them be.

Kind of a shamanic people the warriors left alone for some unknown reason lost in the depths of time.
