    Default Sköldpadda

    Sköldpadda - A talisman. When used within the Dark tower this was seen as a small trinket in the shape of a turtle, used by both Susannah and Jake, it appeared to work by hypnotising the viewer.

    Sköldpadda is literally 'turtle' in Swedish.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was originally being used generically nor not, so I decided to go with the safe bet.

    Yeah, I did that, candy. I went through yesterday, corrected any spelling/grammar errors, and made all the entries uniform (capitalized thread titles and made the keyword bold). If you want that sentence back in about the turtle, you can either edit the post or I can do it for you.

    No problem! I'm just a neat freak at heart.

    Is Skoldpadda pretty much said how it's spelled? Either way, it's a very aesthetic for a word.
    (sorry, can't figure out how to put an umlaut in.)
