Why just whale/snake/eagle? Where are the foxes, dragons, bears, moths, owls and wolves? Here they come.

introduce
=============
Nordic ruins totem puzzle. They involve matching some form of key (visual, book, etc.) to 9 ancient Norse totems (speculated by BGSF Lore Forumites) corresponding to the ancient Norse gods.
Among them are the snake (Shor), the whale (Tsun), the eagle (Kyne), the moth (Dibella), the bear (Stuhn), the owl (Jhunal), the fox (Ysmir), the wolf (Mara) and the dragon (Alduin).
But the most popular totem puzzle, the spinning pillar... uses only an eagle, a snake, and a whale. Where are the other six? This mod corrects this and spreads new pillars throughout all puzzle pillar arrays.
Naturally, it also replaces all relevant puzzle keys. It doesn't hit the two special puzzle arrays because their keys are in the book, and the context would be destroyed.

INTRODUCTION
=============
Nordic ruin totem puzzles. They consist of matching up a key of some sort somewhere (visual, book, etc) to a selection of nine ancient nordic totems that are surmised (by the BGSF Lore Forumites) to correspond to the ancient nordic gods.
Among them, the Snake (Shor), the Whale (Tsun), the Hawk (Kyne), the Moth (Dibella), the Bear (Stuhn), the Owl (Jhunal), the Fox (Ysmir), the Wolf (Mara), and the Dragon (Alduin).
But the most prevalent totem puzzle, the Rotating Pillars... only uses the Hawk, Snake, and Whale. Where are the other six? This mod rectifies that, and intersperses the new pillars amongst all the puzzle pillar arrays.
Naturally, it also replaces any pertinent puzzle keys. It did not touch two particular puzzle arrays as their keys were in book text, and the context would be broken.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
