Lempira was a Warrior, Chieftain of the Lencas of western Honduras in Central America during the 1530s, when he led resistance to Francisco de Montejo's attempts to conquer and incorporate the region into the province of Honduras. Lempira is regarded by the people as a Warrior Hero whom the conquistadors feared, since they could not kill him.

Lempira means "Lord Of The Mountain" or "Lord Of The Hill" (Lempa="Lord" as a title of hierarchy, I="Of", and Era="Hill" or "Mountain").

The Lenca, also known as Lepa Wiran, meaning “Jaguar People” or “People Of The Jaguar” are an Indigenous People from present day southwest Honduras and eastern El Salvador in Central America.

BERTHA CÁCERES // ACTIVIST

“She was a Lenca activist who spent her life advocating for Indigenous rights and environmental protection in Honduras. Taking inspiration from her social activist mother, Cáceres co founded the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) in 1993 to fight for Lenca territorial rights. This was in response to the Honduran government privatizing Indigenous lands for environmentally destructive projects that would displace Indigenous communities. Cáceres spent many years campaigning, organizing, and peacefully protesting against the Agua Zarca dam project, which would have violated Indigenous rights and cut off water, food, and medicine supplies for hundreds of Lenca people. After facing many years of violence and death threats from the Honduran armed forces, Caceres and the Lenca community successfully halted construction on the Agua Zarca dam. On March 3, 2016, Cáceres was murdered in her home by gunmen. Her death sparked international outrage, causing investors to withdraw from Agua Zarca. The Honduran court ruled that executives of DESA, the company leading the Agua Zarca dam project, had been the ones to order Cáceres's assassination. Cáceres's family continues to seek justice for her murder, while COPINH and her fellow activists carry on Cáceres's legacy in fighting for environmental justice and the rights of the Lenca people.”

Lore: El Lore o trasfondo de un juego, es el conjunto de historias, datos, personajes, etc. que conforman el universo representado en el mismo y le dan coherencia. Se podria decir de manera mas simple la realidad de los personajes del juego.

Quiero dejar muy en claro que uno de mis principales trasfondo de mi lore es el hecho de que la mayoría de los países de habla hispana en América Latina son hijos de las diversas culturas y civilizaciones que radicaron ahí y de España y Portugal.

Para darle un poco más de profundidad a la situación, describiré que cuando me refiero a ello por ejemplo, pongo en contexto a la representante de la mayor población, cultura y civilización en áreas dónde hoy en día están situados los países.

Basemonos en Honduras por un momento, la etnia y cultura Lenca es una de las que hizo contacto durante las conquistas españolas, también es una de las cultura que se encuentran entre los límites de lo que hoy es Honduras y parte de la población mestiza e indigena de Honduras desciende de ahi. Por tanto en mi Lore, Lenca es una mujer que llego a tener su "ese algo" con España y por tanto ambos son padres del representante de Honduras.

Se puede intuir que "ese algo" pudo haber sido consensuado o no. Dependerá de cómo se maneje en un fanfic. Pero siempre es más complicado que eso al ser seres no netamente humanos comunes y corrientes.

Like, the whole thing where there are racists mad that Astrid is not being played by a white woman with blonde hair is SO embarrassing. Did you somehow miss the memo that the other person who played (voiced) Astrid is a Honduran-American woman with Indigenous Lenca ancestry?????

Also, also... these Vikings? Most of them were not voiced by people with Nordic/Scandinavian ancestry!!!!!! A lot of them were Scottish.

Like, the only one with any Nordic ancestry is Kristen Wiig.

Idk, go watch something else that has Vikings in it if you're looking for historical accuracy.

This has dragons in it.

ABOUT HONDURAS

It is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Its capital and largest city is Tegucigalpa.

Honduran society is predominantly Mestizo; however, there are also significant Indigenous, black, and white communities in Honduras.

Hondurans are often referred to as either the masculine Catracho or the feminine Catracha in Spanish.

Honduran cuisine is a fusion of indigenous Lenca cuisine, Spanish cuisine, Caribbean cuisine and African cuisine. There are also dishes from the Garifuna people. Coconut and coconut milk are featured in both sweet and savory dishes. Regional specialties include fried fish, tamales, carne asada and baleadas.

Punta is the main music of Honduras, with other sounds such as Caribbean salsa, merengue, reggae, and reggaeton all widely heard, especially in the north, and Mexican rancheras heard in the rural interior of the country.

Yes to brag bc I made a lesbian flag patterned bufanda lenca and I'm getting away with it because Honduras (my country) is homophobic enough not to know the flag colors 😌

Note: although evangelicalism is strong in indigenous/rural communities (which strengthens homophobia) gays and indigenous people are often seen together working against extractivism in Honduras
