Polar Knights is based on true events. In 1845, The HMS Erebus and Terror set out for a study of magnetism and the search for the Northwest Passage.

The native people tried to explain what happened to the men and even claimed that some men survived and lived among them. No one believed them. In 2016 the world became interested in the story again after the ships were found, sunken far from where expected. (But exactly where the natives claimed they could be found.)

I 1896 flygtede fire englændere med deres bytte, en formue i uslebne diamanter, gennem den nådesløse Kalahari-ørken, stærkt forfulgt af en afrikansk stamme.

In Redbone’s world, you might end up dead if you aren’t a member of his bloody band of brothers.
