Yeah, you have it figured out pretty good. Didn't Howard et al, in one of the 13 original books, have a story that dealt with Hyperbora, or maybe it was that he mentioned Hyperborea and a previous adventure Conan had there, maybe Conan was reflecting on this in the book, can't remember????
-11F (-23.8888C) here now (10AM) and last night, it is supposed to go up to +7F or +8F today. Temps.in other areas around here in the northern midwest and in Canada are hitting -20F and -30F and a bit more. Very Nordlander and Cimmerian and northern Pictish and Hyperborean like. It's at times like this that notherners howl at the celing because they can't see the moon since it is concealed by snow clouds and ice fog and it's too cold to howl around outside anyway. Makes sense to me. Yeah, make Hyperborea evily cold, frigidly insane, the White Hand or whatever would be a good order of evil sorcers and sorceresses, with large wolves/wargs running around with the rebels and brigands.
Yeah, Picts should only have canoes and war canoes with maybe catamarans latter, and maybe they can be somehow used on certain rivers in the game?? Maybe not, as the rivers would have to be too wide. So, maybe as jsut coastal ships restricted to the adjacent Pictich waters and maybe one sea area to the north and one to the south, if that is possible. Something like that.
Take care over there on the Emerald Isle and its Cliffs of Moher etc.
