[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7605296, member: 58172"] Christian families are in Norse lands during all of the Viking Period. In the 800s, they are a few families. In the 900s, they are some of the regional leaders. In the 1000s, the emergence of monarchy comes from foreign Christian influence, from the Holy Roman Empire of Continental Europe. The monarchs who unify the lands of Scandinavia during the 1000s are mainly Christian. For the sake of translating concepts into D&D. Monotheists, including Christians, consider the Light of the [B]Positive Plane[/B] to be the Creator of the [B]Material Plane[/B] − and all planes. Anything that exists is itself made out of positivity, being shaped by the positivity. Monotheists serve the Light exclusively as sacred. The Light created the [B]Negative Plane[/B] by ‘hiding’, in order to create the possibility of darkness in the Material Plane. Within the dark Material, humans gain the opportunity to personally reveal and increase Light, thus illuminating the Material Plane. Thus humans become co-creators who decide the shape of the Material Plane. They believe a future will come when the Material Plane is fully luminous with the Light of Positive Plane. In those days, humans will be deathless and painless. Monotheists hold the existence of three planes, Positive, Negative, and Material. These two other planes are alien to the Norse beliefs that strictly hold the Material Plane, only. As far as I know, Norse texts dont mention Jews or Muslims living in Norse lands. But Norse texts mention them in other lands, and admire them. Probably, there are a few Jewish families and a few Muslim families in Norse lands, who arrived as merchants. Friendships between Norse and Christians and conflicts between Norse and Christians, are happening simultaneously. Mainly conflicts emerge because Christians champion humans and the positivity exclusively, whereas the Norse refuse to alienate the nonhuman beings of the Material Plane. Norse society evolves complexly with ways to reconcile the two views and ways to vilify the other. In the first third of the Viking Period, Christians are a noninfluencial curiosity. But the third third of the Viking Period can be called the ‘Christian Viking Period’, where the patchwork of regional governments mostly support a Christian monarch. In any case, aboriginal Norse beliefs are about the Material Plane. [/QUOTE]
