A World Without Norway

In the early years of the Viking Age, King Eystein Halfdansson of the Norwegian petty Kingdom of Romerike sails across the Oslofjord to lead a raid to a location named Varna. The raid is successful, but it enrages the Swedish King, who leads an invasion into Norway. King Eystein is slain by the Swedes, and his son, Halfdan the Mild leads a group of refugees from Romerike to western Norway, where he establishes a new Kingdom.
