How did you choose to implement the Theme: Northern Saga in your game?
Our game is set in Landa - a norse-inspired region. All characters have northern names, and we sought to stick to a norse-inspired design.

The Saga part comes from the fact the game is, literally, a saga. A story of how the town became a proper city, how the main character came to govern it, etc.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
Raid - the village is attacked in the beginning of the game, though not by humans, but by monsters.

Valkyrie - the main character gains powers after encountering the goddess of valkyries (obviously the design is valkyrie-like).

Rune - we didn't have time to properly implement the rune system, but the main character has a magical rune on his hand and its mentioned in the story.
