Vlad: Vlad is a reference to Vlad Țepeș, also called Vlad The Impaler, the person that inspired Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel of the same name.

Tree Wizards are reference to Monthy Python's Holy Grail's Knights Who Say Niii.

Chapter 4
Admiral Agnar - reference to the Admiral Ackbar, from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, as well with his famous quote "It's a trap!"

Chapter 9
Simon Belmont ([[Media:Simon_Belmont.png]]): When entering Vlad's castle, you can notice a dead man with a whip. This is reference to the Castlevania game series.

Lara Croft - in the secret area just before the castle if you examine the body it says "Looks like she was raiding this tomb". A closer look at the skeleton shows she is wearing the shorts and t-shirt of Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider games.

Chapter 10
Navi - The fairy that follows you around in Niflheim spouting various useless messages is directly lifted from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Chapter 11
The Snow Troll is probably a reference to the Yeti in the old Windows 3.1 game "Ski Free", who is extremely fast, and devours you in one bite.

Fafnir the Burninator is a reference to Trogdor the Burninator, a dragon from the Homestar Runner comic.

Chapter 12
Assatur- The King In Yellow, is a reference to the book "The King In Yellow" by Robert W Chambers published in 1896. It features the titular character as an enigmatic horror, in tattered yellow robes and a golden crown which sits above a palid and disturbing mask, similar to the Great Old Ones found in Lovecraftian works. The King In Yellow is also the name of a play in the book, in which the king himself is a character, and which has a first act so enthralling it's impossible to tear oneself away but with a second act so horrifying in its content it drives the reader to madness.
