This game is loaded with Easter eggs.

In Sigrun's shop, each day you visit there's a new item, one you can't buy. So far as I know, they're from various adventure games. I only recognize two of the items-- the mechanical nightingale from "King's Quest VI" and the leopard statue from "Quest for Glory III." There's also a remote control, a set of silver wind chimes, and a rubber chicken with a pull string. (There's a rubber chicken in QfG IV, but I'm not sure if that's the reference they were going for.)

When you break into Snorri's house, you can steal a blackbird statue-- a reference to the infamous blackbird from the "Quest for Glory" series (which is, itself, a reference to the "Maltese Falcon").

Sometimes, when you exit out of Svartelfheim, you see a dancing girl-- it's the Pooka from another Crystal Shard game, "A Tale of Two Kingdoms."

Unstable Ordinance from Sigruns shop.. take it and see what happens.

[CivMeister]

Just took it. It is from Space Quest III. Had a surprise. :)

There's also Sonni the cousin of Snorri who looks like a modern cop and subs for Snorri in managing the jail. Unfortunately you can't talk to him because he's the only one in the game who actually speaks English while everyone else speaks Old Norse :D

Also, name a heroine Elsa to get Hera's Ring when you start your quest. :) (found this out by accident while attempting the "Dirty Rotten Scoundrel" achievement)

If Aurvandal catches you in his quarters at night, you sometimes hear Manannan's Theme play when he pops in.

[zekitbot]

The skull from QFG's Baba Yaga hut shows up in the Cave of Fate.

The heroine turns into an old Zelda/KQ style sprite if you drink from the alchemist's table in Nidavellir.

There are two characters that show up guarding the castle in Fornsigtuna, but I don't know who they are.

Sometimes there are Monkey Island pirates sleeping in the ship by the frozen lake.

Are the books on the second floor of the library considered too obvious to be easter eggs? It took me a while to figure out one of them referred to Cave Story.

You can also get it if you use the names Erana, Katrina, or Nawar.

The Librarian saying one of his favorite words is widdershins, a reference to a puzzle in A Tale of Two Kingdoms that a lot of people got stumped on because they didn't know what widdershins meant.

Sonni the cop is a reference to the games Police Quest. Also if you talk to the guy in the tower, I don't remember his name, but when asking about the beast in the swamp he quotes the rabbit line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
