HERITAGE & HISTORICAL REFERENCES
The idea about the game is connected to a few things; the ever changing Icelandic weather, the medieval wise men that were in service of the leaders and the different ways they used to make predictions.
Seers or Wise men used different methods to look into the future to try to foresee things that haven’t happened yet. In Iceland, the weather was something that was needed to be predicted accurately. Some tried to foresee the upcoming weather by observing the animal behaviours, some looked for natural signs, some followed dreams and sightings while others threw runes, bones and animal intestines to gain a prediction.
The town names in the game are actual medieval trading places in Iceland.
