Would either of Sweland and Geatland make crusades and expand into Finland, or would Finland instead become its own realm, or part of Russian Novgorod or German Livonia?
Found Rurik's AH.com accountI wonder if this might lead to Vikings establishing a separate kingdom around the Gulf of Finland, controlling the sailing route towards Kiev and Bysants?
Edit: I see I am not the only one who thought of this scenario.
