Take on the role of small kings, local chieftains, and wealthy peasants who have been invited by the first Christian king of Sweden to participate in his nationbuilding. He has participated in the Danelaw, and saw how the Brits created a strong centralized kingdom, and the role currency played in that. He wants to do the same, but he can't do it without the help of the local movers and shakers: you. This would severely limit your strength, but perhaps you would be stronger united. Perhaps you didn't have much strength to begin with, and this is your opportunity to carve a place for your family in the new kingdom of the Swedes. Perhaps you can just marry your way into power, and secure your future that way. Either way, the world is changing. The end of the Viking age is here, and you better not get left behind. —description from the publisher
