BERK VILLAGE
"THE PEBBLE MURAL" takes its design cues from Viking myths and legends, specifically illustrating the destructive nature of dragons. A key element we strived to retain is the whimsical illustrative aesthetic, akin to that of original animated films. "THE MONOLITH," a brainchild of our designer Dominic Watkins, pays homage to the founding fathers of Berk. Consequently, we have three "Main Forefathers," each symbolizing one of the tribes that currently inhabit Berk Island.

The "HERO BOOK OF DRAGONS" derives its inspiration from the original film, featuring new illustrations. It also features an intricate fore-edge painting that depicts the landscape of Berk.
