Vinland Norse, or Norse in General? Because the Scandinavia was experiencing Christianization since the late 900s, Iceland having Christianity declared the official religion as far back as 1000. The OTL Norse who reached North America, if I'm not mistaken, were Christian as opposed to worshiping Thor and Odin.Interesting. How long has it been since the Norse were Christianized?

They're a surviving band of pagans from the original Nyhofn settlers, who as a clan were cast out of Iceland for murdering a rival clan. They clung to Odin and Thor and brought them back with them. When they were crushed by the Botnborgers and the Wampanoag in retaliation for raiding and murder, a handful who had managed to escape and brought their legends into the wildSo is this a form of very early neopaganism, or some kind of surviving band of Pagans? Either way, it's really interesting, and I may or may not be rooting for the pagans here.
Interesting prediction.. As for if it will come true, well, you'll have to wait and seeSo, Gunnar is now between the camp and the enemy warriors (who are possibly still heading away from the camp for an unkown time).
Methinks Gunnar will go to the camp, free the captives, they'll win against the remaining people at the camp and set a trap for the returning warriors.
Or, that will be the plan. Plans, contact with enemy, etc.
Really? Thanks! As for how it unfolds, well, I can't say everything that will be happening over the next few years, but I plan on taking this timeline to at least the year 3000 C.E.You deserved it! Probably one of the most unique Vinland takes on here, and I'm excited to see how it unfolds.

And its gonna be one Hell of a ride.
Exactly! And boy, is it gonna get "out there" at some parts.Hot damn!
Gunnar, though I have been enjoying all your protaganistsSo while I'm working on the next update (should be out by next week I think), I feel I must ask the question; which protagonist do you guys like more/better? Jarl Snorri Thorfinnsson, or Gunnar the reluctant warrior?
