Bram wrote:a Hollywood-worthy hero
I always wondered why there's no movie about Pier... There's plenty of story to work with and tons of drama and action to be had...
Anyway, I'm originally from Fryslân myself. I currently live in another part of the Netherlands, in what used to be part of Magna Frisia (Fryslân at its biggest back in the day when it was an independent country). I'm just keeping an eye on things here so we can easily reconquer this place again in due time *cough*

My point is, being from Fryslân originally myself gives me a link to Pier. Next to that, I'm a nut for Frisian history, ancient battles, true heroes and exacted revenge in general

So, every reason for me to love the stories about Pier. To combine this epic legend with a video game is just epic on its own.
Being proud of where you come from is a bit weird in the end... I mean, it's just a patch of dirt. In Fryslân's case a patch of dirt with some water. Being proud of dirt is weird. Still, having Frisian blood coursing through my veins, I cannot help but feeling a little proud anyway, even though the days of Magna Frisia and independence are far behind us. We're slowly regaining a few symbolic glories of old in the shape of having the name of the province of Friesland changed officially to Fryslân, Frisian becoming the nations official 2nd langauge, more room for the Frisian language in daily life, more Frisian language in modern education (back in my schooldays it was appaling) and so on... (Now all we need is our own king again, an army and a lifetime supply of dümkes and we're good to go

) To make a long story even longer: it's a brilliant game concept which will definitely help to put Fryslân on the map a bit more and spread the stories of Pier of whom we can all be proud!
