I'm imagining something more long-lived than the North Sea empire, lasting long enough for several generations of emperors and a tradition of the nordics being united to form. I'm thing unification would happen through a "Viking Charlemagne", but I have no idea how succession laws worked and whether or not gravelkind would tear it apart like it did to the Carolinian empire. I'd prefer the unification to happen prior to conversion to christianity, because the effects on the germanic religon would be very interesting (Central church?).
