I'm currently GMing a group of vikings in medieval Scotland, and even though the Shoanti Spirit-singer trait is originally tied to the equivalent of either african tribes or native americans, I think it makes perfect sense on a viking Skald with Spirit Totem and Possessed Hand (the spirit in the hand is flavored as the same that fuels the trait). I do something similar for homebrew setting, too - I want an explanation why some flavor-tied thing makes sense for the character.
