Goofs: Anachronisms: Hrothgar was a king of Denmark whose biography is unknown, but whose chronology was shortly after AD 500. Ahmed ibn Fadlan was an explorer who flourished circa AD 922. Ahmed’s Islamic faith itself did not exist until after AD 622, so Hrothgar’s court could not have encountered any Muslims to begin with.
 

“In AD 922, an important emissary who is banished from his homeland. The nomadic outcast comes across a band of Norse warriors who coerce him into joining them when they are summoned to fight mysterious creatures legendary for consuming every living thing in their path. Eventually surrounded by the frightening and ferocious foe, Ibn must conquer his personal fears and help battle the illusive invaders–who emerge out of the shroud of fog in the black of the night.
