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.

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.

You deserved it! Probably one of the most unique Vinland takes on here, and I'm excited to see how it unfolds.
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.
And its gonna be one Hell of a ride.
Cries in also nominated.
JK, you deserve it. Your timeline has inspired some of the ways I've been doing my own.
Exactly! And boy, is it gonna get "out there" at some parts.
