Ways of the Norse Gods

[Root.Monarch.GetName], great [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] of [Root.GetName], chose a way of one of our Gods. Yet, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] is not sure if the current worship will lead [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] to the magnificent Halls of Valhalla. [Root.Monarch.GetSheHeCap] is now seeking the advise of the [Root.GetChurchOrFallbackName] to reconsider his personal deity, and choose one who shall bring victory and glory to [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] and the [Root.GetAdjective] people.

A Wave of Curiosity

Scandinavia adopted Christianity during the height of the Medieval times. Although hesitant, the population of Denmark, Sweden and Norway eventually converted, subjugating themselves to the Holy See. They were promised to receive absolution.
Little did the Nordic people know how this path to absolution actually looks like: any mere priest can sell indulgences which save you from the hellfire, bishops are exploiting the very cities they promised to protect and the Pope pays more attention to its own personal gains than to the fate of Catholicism.

In times like this it is not strange for a [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] like [Root.Monarch.GetName] to question the authority of the Papacy. During one of [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] rides through the wilderness of [Root.GetName] [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] encountered one of the old rune stones created by our pagan ancestors. [Root.Monarch.GetHerHisCap] curiosity about the Old Gods has been unleashed...

[Root.Monarch.GetName]'s Discovery

[Root.Monarch.GetName] travelled into the thick forests of [Root.GetName] with a small group of the closest advisors and servants. After all, a [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] as [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] can not survive in the wilderness just by [Root.Monarch.GetHerselfHimself].
After several weeks of travelling, searching and philosophizing, the curious [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] and [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] company eventually found a forsaken temple with a small collection of idols of the several gods of the Norse faith. Upon touching them, [Root.Monarch.GetName] suffered a seizure and lost all of [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] senses!

Two days later, after [Root.Monarch.GetHerHisCap] servants established a small camp, the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] finally woke up from [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] unwanted sleep.

[Root.Monarch.GetName]'s Turn to the Old Gods

It has been months since [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s sudden loss of senses. Although it only prevailed for a short time, the... visions [Root.Monarch.GetName] claimed to have seen changed [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] drastically.

No longer was [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] busy with the matters of the Church nor did [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] seem to care about the security of the state. Instead, the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] studied every single script; every single documention about the old Norse religion. Although some worried about [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] sanity, the chats with [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] revealed that [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] had not lost [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] sharp mind in any way.

One day though, [Root.Monarch.GetName] vanished completely and messages from [new_norse_province.GetName] reached the court...

The Norse Conversion of [Root.GetName]

Heathen preachings are witnessed in our own provinces. Once devoted Christians are tossing their crosses into the ocean and building shrines for their pagan gods. Churches are turned into temples.
In the midst of all that is [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName], now self proclaimed "Seer of the Old Gods", who overlooks the conversion of entire areas of [Root.GetName].

The Restoration of the Temple of Uppsala

The Temple of Uppsala was a holy site for the Norse faith until King Inge the Elder managed to destroy the temple and left nothing but rubble behind. Our faith never recovered from this loss, and eventually we turned our backs on the gods.

The Awakening of the Norse Faith

The animistic revolt of [new_norse_province.GetName] has found ancient rune stones of the Vikings from centuries ago.

Restoration of the North Sea Empire

In 1013, King Cnut the Great unified the Kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and England into one single empire: the North Sea Empire. His achievements set a signal for the Christian and Norse kingdoms alike and his legacy lived on to this very day.

Now, the crowns of Scandinavia and the British Isles are once again united under one Norse banner. The jarls of the many territories bow before the great [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]. Undoubdetly, the [Root.GovernmentName] of [Root.GetName] is the true heir to the North Sea Empire.
Only one question is open: Should the [Root.GetAdjective] realm assume the name of "North Sea Empire"?
