1220 - 1291 (Leifsbudir)

At the beginning of 1220, the culture, language and even the people of Dorset and Skræland were completely mixed with the viking traditions. Some linguistic differences were found between the dialect of the continent, the dialect of Helluland and the dialect in those land that were still controled by indigenous people.

Anyway. That year the Heyjarl of Grønland died, his name was Thor, the Strong. Then his two sons, Olaf and Bjorn, competed for the throne of their father. While Bjorn desired by crowned with the title of Heyjarl and keep the regime under the Council of Jarls, his brother wished for crown himslef King and expand Grønland to the continent.

In 1221, the Council, after many deliberations, elected Bjorn as Heyjarl to keep its power. Bjorn sent his brother to the colonies in the Nordøyr to keep him away from the political matters on the capital nad use his military skills to extend his own domain. But Olaf was not disposed to be defeated and used as weapon in his brother's war machine. He recruited a huge army composed by the colonisists and the skr ælings ofthe zone, and sailed to Gardar in the end of the year. But the Heyjarl saw what was happening, and knew about the intentions of his brothern, so when Olaf arrived to the coasts of the island, a enormous army was waiting for him. In a few days, the entire army of Olaf was dead or laying down the weapons. The rebel noble had no more option than travel to Kawawachikamach, were his brother had no allies or spies. In the other countries the vikings were majority and all of them were potential agents of Bjorn.

After three years in exile, Olaf finally saw his oportunity to return. This year the marklandish, under the king Svend III, invaded the kawawachimamachian lands. Olaf, using his military and diplomatic skills, raised an army in the north to fight the invaders, and manages to keep them away from the capital some time.

He obtained the dorsetian support in exchange for the promise of some coastlands. The dorsetian nobility managed to get the support of the Wyandot in exchange for some coast in the Lakes. Finally the skr æling faction won the war, and the king Svend became so unpopular for the lands lost and the resources spent in the war that his peoples deposed him and offered the crown to a foreign prince. Obviousliy, Bjorn wished for be appointed new king, as Sweyn of Helluland and the Jarl Igmar of Skr æland (crowned after the hellulandish invasion of 1119). But the Council of Jarl was controled by the victorius faction, so the obvious election was Olaf, appointed at 1226.

Being anger with the jarls' election, Sweyn invaded Markland at 1229 and proclaimed himself king. However his troops were defeated by the kawawachikamachian even before they arrived to the main marklandish lands, and the fleet was destroyed by the dorsetians, who keept ships which survived the battle. Surrounded by his enemies, the king Sweyn offered Olaf the title of Kirge and the control of the southern islands of Helluland. Olaf accepted, but foresaw a hellulandish betrayal when the king Sweyn returned to his capital and asked Bjorn for help. Bjorn managed to get the support of Skr æland in his proyect to invade Markland.

In the year 1232, one year after the massacre of the armies of Sweyn by the marklandish troops, Bjorn invaded Markland, trying to obtain an alliance with Cnut, king of Vinland, and obtaining it one year later. The main adventage of his brother was that his allies attacked the enemies in many fronts, but now the Wyandot fought Vinland, the dorsetian fought Skr æland and Helluland and the the Markland-Kawawachikamachian alliance fought Gr ønland.

The situation changed in 1234: A unexpected death came to Skr æland, killing th childless Jarl. Then Sweyn attempted to take the Jarldom for himself, bur the nobility knew that Sweyn will impose his own council and armies before the local ones, then there was war between the two countries. Dorset took adcentadge of this and offered the nobles the possibility of appoint Olaf as Jarl. He was very respectful with other cultures and policies in his own domains, and the protection of Markland would be great for the Skr æland's economy. Olaf was appointed Jarl and is armies invaded Helluland, deposing the king and proclaiming himself with such title.

In 1235, the wyandot, dorsetian and marklandish fleet finally invaded Vinland through the lakes, while the Markland's armies took the peninsula. Bjorn was so disappointed with the vinlandish poignancy that himself invaded the main island and took the throne. Two years later, in the middle of a statu quo, Bjorn died in battle against the marklandish armies in the northern Helluland. The Olaf was crowned King of all the Vikings.

In the following five years Olaf dedicated himself to improve the economical, politic and cultural integration of his territories. In 1241 the kawawachikamachian nobles elected to join the Viking Empire after the death of the last king. Two years later the dorsetian nobility deposed the king to crown a usurper, then Olaf conquered the kingdom and incorporate it to his own empire.

The most important event of the reign of Olaf was the travel realized by Ingmar Igorsson in 1248. He established diplomatical contact with the mesoamerican civilization. The cities of Texcoco and Tlacopan, the Lordships of Cuzcatlan (OTL El Salvador) and Tlaxcala and the League of Mayapan, directed by Hunac Ceel Cauich, in the OTL Yucatan, the Kingdom of Xalisco, and even the aztecs ruled by Tozcuecuextli.

Ingmar iniciated the trade between the northern viking civlizations and the mesoamerican proto-civilization. The first viking technologies will be found in Mesoamerica at 1260.
