The major deities that are continuously worshipped include the ''Drakfader'' and his affiliated dragons offspring, akin to [[The Pantheon of the Dragon]] worshipped in [[Redna]], however with slight variations.
In the Isvik branch of the pantheon, the ancestral dragon is referred to as Drakfader (lit. Dragon father) and also was the only being in the universe until an apocalyptic event which created the world. Howeverm the main struggle is between the ''Isdrake'' (lit. Ice Dragon, possibly an interpretation of The Golden Dragon) and ''Mörkdrake'' (lit. "The Dark Dragon", i.e. The Obsidian Dragon). The Isdrake is the primary symbol for Isvik and is depicted on the town banner. ''Bloddrake'' refers to The Blood Dragon.

In its current incarnation, it was settled by a trading, seafaring people who referred to the settlement as ''Isvik'' in mid-July 2021. At this stage, Isvikwas nothing more but a wind shelter and a wall built by snow to protect the people from wild monsters and the surrounding barren icy beaches. A collection of ''Skalds'' are the primary sources for contemporary historiography and detail how Isvik came to pass and grow into the fortified village it is today. It refers to the first settlers as vikings and ''Isvik'' translates to ice-bay in their language.
=== History ===
Attracting attention for its peculiar location and newfound security, a wandering people who worshipped the moon led by [[ClanofWada]] found the village one day when it was empty and believed it to be abandoned, and claimed it as their own and named it Jericho. The two peoples though, tolerated each other and lived side by side until the guest people eventually emigrated. This developed into a pattern and Isvik's population swell and shrunk in different stages
▲Isvik's population swell and shrunk in different stages, and was narrowed down to two individuals and a dozen enslaved villagers at its lowest point, when ClanofWada left. However, in the subsequent months Jarl [[Pzychosocial]] made the villagers free men and with the help of Huskarl [[Potipoti]] Isvik was expanded and returned to a moderately prosperous settlement. Things took off further once the warrior [[Antonlovetuva]] joined and Isvik became a place of on-and-off buzz.
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]].
