How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Norse trading town on the Liffey in the Wrath of the Druids expansion, ruled by Eivor's cousin Barid.

The real place

Vikings set up a base at Dublin in 841 and made it the largest Norse town in Ireland. Christ Church Cathedral was founded around 1030 by the Norse king Sitric Silkbeard, on the ridge above the old Viking town.

Visiting

Dublinia, next to the cathedral and linked to it by a bridge, recreates Viking and medieval Dublin. Wood Quay, where the Viking town was excavated, is just downhill.
