There's a Suru character further on but he doesn't exactly give us context about the Suru overall. He's kind of doing his own thing. Lots of info about Vaasa throughout the book, though! Including some very evocative geographical paragraphs.
Okay I haven't yet read Püha ja õudne lõhn/Sacred and Terrible Air (I'm planning to! I promise!) so I want to ask: What lore does it give about Vaasa, the Suru and all that? I've like, looked at the first chapter so I know it takes place there/references it.
If I want to reference Vaasa and Suru in a fic I'm writing, should I first read that? Or is someone willing/able to give a summary of any additional lore about the area (like what even is the majority language if the suru are a minority??). I will say that I am Finnish so I don't necessarily need any cultural references explained, just any Elysium specific lore.

still plagiarizin'!
Sorry but this thing keeps bugging me. Back when the "professional translation" was first published, they claimed that "unfortunately, the original text [of the epilogue] appears to not be available any more, all we had was a summary which we translated as well."
Their "translated summary" was a sentence-by-sentence rewording of my own epilogue summary, which has only ever existed in English to begin with. That's plagiarism, with some crass lying about it on top. Someone pointed out to them that they'd been found out, they apologized and took it down.
And yet there's still plagiarism in their files.
They added a glossary at the end meant to explain some terms and geographical correspondences (this is not part of the original book and is not marked as an addition. People have posted about it thinking it was penned by Kurvitz). It is also oftentimes wrong. And, as it turns out (thanks @smellslikegeraniums), it is also oftentimes taken straight from this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysium/comments/eprvi8/the_real_world_inspirations_of_the_countries_in/ without credit. It is particularly noticeable in some one-of-a-kind takes:
Sur-la-clef: "a French/Belgian blend being the seat for the Nato/Eu coalition." becomes "A France/Belgium blend and the seat for EPIS"
Yugo: "The balkans, former yugoslavia" becomes "The Balkans, former Yugoslavia" (this is notably lifted because "Yugo" by itself isn't a thing)
Vesper: "Czech Republic" in both
Graad: "Some kind of Russian/Polish blend (potatoes for spirits etc)." becomes "[...] also, Russia/Poland blend [...]" (have you even read the damn book. Is Tereesz minced meat to you)
Oranje: "A stronger, militarized capitalist netherlands." becomes "Version Netherlands that is larger/stronger/militarised"
etc.
Nobody's ever called it out and so nobody's ever taken it down? Got caught for plagiarism once and didn't even take down all the plagiarism in your work? Come on.

thinking about how Isobel tries to protect Ruby and how nice Ruby had been to her and aaaaaaahhh ! Old lady whisperer Ruby 🥺 Ruby earnestly meeting people and making friends fast 🥺 she has so many friends and none of them could help her stay hidden from Harry 😔 (But she must have friends who can help her escape after she ditches Martinaise.... I want to believe 🥺)
