Although previously exclusive nomads, many have become settlers. Many still go on voyages for several months, and some even years. However, the difference now is that they have somewhere to call home. Vikingyans elected their most fearsome warrior as king and believed his blood to directly descend from the Old Divine. That power has stayed with the same family, however, each ruler must prove themselves elite in battle or lose their crown. Known to have harsh winter temperatures, many believe it to be of magical influence to keep others away who might otherwise seek to claim this land.
