Magnus was currently sitting on the floor, happily stacking five square wooden blocks on top of each other.
Gyda walked over to the desk and handed Ragnar a piece of white paper.
"This is a direct report from our northern scout ships~" Gyda stated. "They sailed far past the Faroe Islands on a mapping expedition. They found a massive landmass covered in thick ice and black rocks."
Ragnar took the paper. As far as Ragnar could recall, sitting at his desk after his spies had relayed rumors of a strange, icy land, he knew the geographical and historical facts from his past life.
In 870, Iceland was the new planet for Europeans.
Why was it strange? It was an almost uninhabited island until the Vikings began to settle it in earnest, starting with Ingolfur Arnarson in 874.
It was a place full of active volcanoes and hot springs amidst the ice, a sight the warriors from northern Europe had never seen before, making it a land of legends.
