the chess board is made out of wood and has two figures on each side, one with
Hnefatafl - popular Norse board game. One side, the white pieces in this set, plays a thane defending a territory. The other side plays invaders.

According to some ancient sources, the Irish werewolves were even recruited by kings in time of war.
