I do not want to be disturbing so this is just a question.
Looking to the supposed map I was just surprised there is no Iceland and further lands so no chance to fight with skraelings? I know of course there was no precedent of any major battles but come on! we are all here to find some alternative history, are we?
Secondly, despite I am 100% Russian I seriously would prefer to cut a little from Russian plains - Gardariki was something too common to vikings still traveling to Miklagard/Byzantium. Of course it is clear to me (after all) that Russian states was completely under the influence of "varjags". Consider Rurik as founder of all the nation can scarcely be overestimated )) Still though is there any need of this portion of land in the east?
And of course I think some Ireland should be represented taking into account that the battle of Clontarf is one of the most epic battles in all Scandinavian sources and is very influentical to (Njals saga and the another true masterpiece - Valkyrie's song, not to speak of Brjans saga)...
Too bad you do not seek new vounteers ))
