What cultural influences? Neither the Lunars nor the Heortlings have ever heard of Vikings. I for one would be perfectly happy if the Heortlings played, say, Chinese Checkers. "Landlocked Vikings" is a great first-order approximation, but almost all the details are in fact non-Viking.
I like how Peter included some tips for narration.
