Another one of the characters for the battle of Byzantium board game. A female Viking warrior. Fun fact: historically there were women warriors fighting in the battle of Dorostolon which is the closest we ever had about a battle between a Roman and a Viking army.

Its capital, as chosen by Constantine, was Constantinople, formerly Byzantium, now Istanbul.

Their empire survived the fall of Rome itself and lasted for another thousand years...
