- Norse:

- Vikings had no central government. - Needed King/strong ruler. - Had no basic means of strong command on raids.

- Raids:

- Introduced to Vikings. - Many convert and look to the Cross. - Many do not. ~ Bizurker Challenge: - Two fires - If can't pass, God not real; if can, God fake. - Christians win! :D

- Heir to Viking "throne." - Half brother to O'Laff. - Sly

- Year 1030:

- Norse Vikings turn on O'Laff. - Harold moves into exile in Kiev. - Realizes that without a market, the plunders are useless.
