The packaging describes how Vikings raided and then settled in England. By 886 a treaty set the borders of the Danelaw, where Norse law and custom held. The Norse role playing figures turn that history into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Axe and the Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwords belonged to a few Viking warriors, but many owned an axe. Most axes began as woodworking tools. In the late 900s the Dane axe appeared, a long-handled broad axe made for battle. A warrior swinging it with two hands could not carry a shield. Shields were round and wooden, with an iron boss at the center. The famous Gokstad ship burial held sixty-four of them. These figures show both sides of Viking fighting, the weapon and the defense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Teaching and Games\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame masters can field the warriors on a table. Teachers can use the packaging text to open a home school lesson. Viking miniature figures help children picture the raiders of the North. Many families keep a Viking figurine set with their history books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlaying and Displaying the Viking Warriors Miniatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the figures in the box until play begins.
