How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Eivor's homeland in Rygjafylke, where the game opens with snowy longhouses, a harbour and King Harald's Norway.
The real place
The game's Norway is set in Rogaland, around today's Stavanger. Nearby Hafrsfjord is where Harald Fairhair is said to have won the battle that united Norway, around 872. The town itself grew up later, around its 12th-century cathedral.
Visiting
The Swords in Rock monument at Hafrsfjord marks the battle. Stavanger is also the base for the Pulpit Rock hike.
