Culture

Vikings were pagans -- they worshipped lots of gods and nature. Viking culture was rich in art and forms of entertainment. Not surprisingly for a people whose homelands featured a cold climate and long winter nights, their entertainment relied heavily on indoor activities. Their literature, rooted in oral tradition, included a wealth of poetry and tales such as the Heimskringla, or sagas of the Norse kings. Vikings enjoyed strategic board games, some of which they adopted from other societies such as backgammon and chess
