I am not a historian in any way, nor have I any specific qualifications in that field, so any information I give here is to be taken with a grain of salt.


The aim of this mod is not to provide an accurate historical experience in any way, but rather serve as the basis for an Alternate History gameplay. The cultures that are present in my mod are definitely different from any real world example that they could have, at least for them being associated with the North Germanic culture group.




Norse had a strong presence in Scotland and Ireland between the 9th to 12th centuries[en.wikipedia.org] which led to a period where Norse-Gaels were an identified group of people. While they ended up being integrated in what we consider Gaelic, I think that it is fair to assume that they could have developed their own identities, should their number had been bigger.


Similarly to the Norse influence in Gaelic parts of Britannia, the Norse were present in Northern England[en.wikipedia.org] and Eastern England[en.wikipedia.org] (which is already partially integrated into the game through the Restore the Danelaw decision). While historically the Norse rulers in Britannia were driven out by the end of the 11th century, I believe that should they had been able to hold the land instead of the Norman, it could have led to the birth of a different people.

The word Northeod itself, is an interpretation of an old germanic word norðþéod[germanic.ge], meaning "northern people, the northerners". It is in no way whatsoever historically relevant.
