The setting of physik
The setting of Physik takes place in an imaginary kingdom simply known as "The Castle".This kingdom is decribed as a few miles wide consisting of a market place, palace, common houses, slums, and a port. The Castle is set upon a coastline with a river running through the middle of it and an ocean on the side of it. This loacation next to the ocean allows for the introduction of a character, Snorri Snorrelssen, a trader from the north who has come down south to find the ghost of her father.The castle is set in a fuedalistic type time period equivalent to that of the 10th century in Europe. This setting allows for the idea of magic to be entertained for this 10th century setting represents a time when magic was considered by many as a very real thing. It also helps entertain the idea of the supernatural which again in this 10th century setting would've been considered a very real thing.
