A Walled City on the River
The country we have entered is the country the maps described. The river runs deep and clear for forty leagues into the interior. At the head of navigation, on the western bank, the column has found a walled city: stone curtain-walls in the European style, a central plaza, a great-house of stone roofed in slate, a market square. The population is mixed: the bulk are Abenaki, but the headman speaks a corrupted Old Norse that the Latinist on the staff can partly follow, and there is, in a stone shrine in the central square, a single iron sword of clear Scandinavian work. They have been here, the headman says, since his great-grandfather's grandfather. Target Leader is taking notes faster than the chronicler.

historical_info = seven_cities_norumbega.3.historical_info European fantasies of a vanished Norse colony surviving in the interior of North America circulated for centuries and were occasionally given credence by isolated archaeological finds, the Newport Tower, the Kensington Runestone, the Maine Penny, the Vinland Map, that have without exception turned out to be of dubious provenance or outright forgery. The actual archaeological evidence of Norse presence in North America is confined to L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland and a small handful of stray finds compatible with brief Norse forays further south. A walled stone city of Scandinavian descent on the Penobscot has never existed.
