World of Id

Skandaharians to the North will be here already at this time, but perhaps their ship building skills have not yet developed enough for them to be a threat to this area?

Or perhaps population pressure is not yet intense enough to drive them south in large numbers?

Well, the raiding business is a cultural thing I think, much like the real Vikings, but havard has a good point about the boats - have to think about that.

Flipped through DA1 last night looking for clues. Only thing that I noticed that Havard hasn't mentioned was that Vestfold is said to have been founded shortly after Blackmoor village.

Duchy of the Peaks - in the Ross's Gazeteer notes it has "The peaks" settled originally by a council or coven of wizards (the red coven?) - so maybe the "duchy" is still an oligarchy ruled by wizards, who may be or maybe not, in league with ID.
