You pass the former palace of Alexander the Great. In a swell of Imperial admiration you tell your men something. Something you've never told anyone. Your men sat on the floor in front of you, bright eyed and waiting for a story. You begin. When you were fifteen, you went to Macedonia on a raiding mission with your father, to the site of Alexander The Great's palace, where you stand again today. And for the first time in your whole life, you felt ... you felt you were home. This place was where you belonged. Years later, you got friendly with a soothsayer - Donald - and told him about the Alexander the Great thing, and he said that he'd regress you back through your past lives. You were dubious, but you let him put you under. It turned out your instincts were absolutely correct. You had lived a past life in Macedonia. That palace was your home.

[Sotijalo]

This could be for most of the pagans, but at least Kalevala has a part about this so it would be fit for Suomenusko religion.
In the story Väinämöinen orders that the bastard child should be killed, but the child starts to speak and he is crowned as a king and Väinämöinen leaves Kalevala. In some versions the child claims that the Väimämöinen is his father so the strong claim thing could be quite possible.
