=== Religion ===
Generally the population of Isvik is not adherent to any organised religion, however it is superstitious society that practices divination, sacrifices and rituals devoted to various spirits, mythical and semi-mythical ancestors such as ''Gammeljarl'' and places of natural beauty such as very old trees, caves and volcanoes. Another revered figure is the Ice Dragon, sometimes called ''Isdrake'' (lit. Ice Dragon) or ''Drakfader'' (lit. Dragon Father). The Isdrake is the primary symbol for Isvik and is depicted on the town banner and coat of arms, and it is said in Isviking legends that Alathra's icy northern sea belt was created by the Isdrake crashing into the land and leaving as scarred trail of a frozen sea full with treacherous icebergs. Some have theorised that the belief in this dragon could be related to [[The Pantheon of the Dragon]] worshipped in [[Redna]], however it must be noted that other nord and viking cultures across Alathra also feature mythical or religious dragon-like figures.

During the [[Prospitian Revolutionary War]], Isvik covertly sided with the rebellion against [[Acquendavia]] and pledged resources and one warrior. Fortunately however, the conflict was over before the village was drawn in. After the war Isvik entered into the [[AIA]], the [[Prospitian Provisional Union]] and formed The Nixium Oath together with [[Archivia]]. During this time Isvik expanded further with the improvement of farming techniques, the completion of a stave church and a wharf used to build longships. As a result gradually became more woven into the international community and imported many ideas and innovations.
