--> Now they were in the capital of the Rus', a city called Kyiv. He had spotted it from a distance when he and Hookfang had gone out flying, and had just… hovered there and stared.

The stones looked new, even from this distance, and according to Vidkunn they were—they'd been completed the year before he was born.
--> And the great Golden Gate at the center of the walls was impressive, but Vidkunn had laughed and told him to wait until they reached Miklagård; according to him, ''this'' Golden Gate was but a pale imitation of the ''true'' Golden Gate of the walls of Constantinople for Jarisleif had built these from being inspired by the Romans' great works.
--> According to the trader, Kyiv, while grand... was barely a sixth the size of that other great capital, a thought that made Snotlout's mind boggle.

!!'''Book I, Chapter 20'''
-> ''King Magnus's first visit to Berk was a watershed moment in many ways. While the king had come for his marriage and for the dragon that later became emblematic of his reign, by the time he had arrived, the Hooligans had spent a year integrating dragons into nearly every level of their society and economy. Witnessing the effects and advantages that this afforded his allies firsthand gave him not only the determination to effect similar changes on his own kingdom, it also gave him a map to doing so, the trailblazing having already been started by the Haddocks' and Ingerman's efforts over the prior year. Even discounting the other innovations and events that were introduced and occurred subsequent to his arrival, Magnus was still exposed to a society that could function without thrall labor and still be more prosperous than his own, and this had an indelible effect on the young king.''
