In the days following his victory at Reykjavík, Vetrúlfr consolidated his power and forced the remainder of the Althing to kneel. They were made to renounce their foreign faith and beg forgiveness from the gods of their ancestors.
Even now, his úlfheðnar acted as inquisitors across Ísland, tearing down Christian sanctuaries, seizing wealth, and punishing those who refused to return to the old gods.
Ívarr still lived, but only because he served a purpose. His death was certain... only delayed, not denied.
Vetrúlfr returned to Ullrsfjörðr, the new capital of his kingdom, where he named jarls, thegns and húskarlar from among those warriors who had proven their valor and loyalty.
Ísland and Vestmannaeyjar were being reorganized into two kingdoms. Both crowns were borne by Vetrúlfr and his future line.
And in doing so, creating a High Kingdom of the North. One which the world did not yet realize was being forged from the ashes of the old realm.
