Historical Battles

• Tours: Clicking on the Sign in the eastern crossroads whence Charles Martel's army arrives sends a message which identifies the paths to Tours and Poitiers.

Trivia

• The directions of Hubward and Rimward in one of the Sign variants is a reference to the Discworld fantasy book series, where these are cardinal directions.
• One of the Signs has a board marked as Jundland, which is a region in the Star Wars universe. The other signboard in the same Sign is for Billund, which is a city in Denmark with strong associations to Lego.
• The sign with the names Nodnol and Wessyngton are most likely referencing London and Washington.
