mandatory soundtrack:Guess we’ll have to light a fire? That’s her only chance to survive?
Uh, my answer was, "maybe."as usual 'it depends'
Right now the temperature is just about at freezing in Reykjavik where at solstice a day is quite short.
That's of course thanks to the influence of warm ocean currents.
In a continental climate quite a bit further south, where the day is both longer and much much colder ... not a chance.
I do like the idea of sacrifices as 'ordeals' where the life/death outcome is a relatively even chance.
It is both a sacrifice, offering up suffering, as well as a divination.
Obviously the ideal outcome is hard suffering that is survivable, as this is a good omen for the coming year
-- any tests and tribulations sent by the gods will be manageable.
Now of course making the challenge too easy to survive would be cheating,
the gods do not like attempts at cheating them,
and so we might have some adversarial interests at play
-- a king might wish to have a good show with a surviving victim,
so that there's trust in his governance continuing to deliver good times.
A section of the priesthood will be devoted to making the suffering as severe and authentic as possible,
so as to please the gods, though of course they also can't afford season after season of doom-prophecy.
Finding the right balance probably includes ... a lot of training with 'volunteers' ...
that would be young members joining the priesthood,
who accept this in the hope of so qualifying themselves for higher clerical ranks.

It's the shortest day of the year, the plan was only for 9 hours on the cross.until tomorrow. just 10-12 more hour of agony, if she will not hve a merciful cornu to help her breath and prolong ger beautiful (and deserved) agony
Without a fire nearby, she has about 2 to 3 hour max and that is if the temperature is about -5c.It's the shortest day of the year, the plan was only for 9 hours on the cross.
Oh my Ghod, if I wasn’t already signed up, this is an utterly convincing argument for joining. I hope Miss loinclothslave will get to meet such a sadist.You'll play an utterly contemptable, sadistically cruel, dishonest maniac who viciously trains slaves using horrific tortures that can only be called inhuman.
If she isn't regretting her actions, you aren't doing it right. ;-)Of course, then she might wish she had not survived.
Survive a few days? Absolutely? Live to tell the tale? Never!Here’s a suffering solstice sacrifice. She’s be up as long as the sun is up. Do you think she will survive?
