Viking traders is meant to look like the interior of a Viking-built house, so it has tan walls with wood-style columns and matching wood beams across the ceiling. The room is lit by a mixture of lights built into the merchandise shelves, some inbuilt ceiling lights, torch-style wall sconces, and hanging metal lanterns.
