Description
This is a map part of my Ericksland series showing the growth of Christianity until 1430.

The point of Divergence is the voyage of Thorvald Erickson where he settled on the site of Lief Erickson's colony naming it Leifskáli, meaning Leif's Hall. With the arrival of his brother Thorsteinn in 1007, he left Leifskáli to found his own settlement to the south. he eventually settles upon a location which is eventually called Thorvaldgarðr meaning Thorvald's Fortress or City. soon enough Thorvald's son named Halfdan returns to Leifskáli where he usurps the title king of Vinland from Thorsteinn and forces Thorsteinn to found his own settlement, which he names Thorsteinnbœr. Thorsteinn's son also named Thorvald would found the city of Thorvaldbœr.
the second big event for Vinland's history took place during the reign of Thorvald Thorsteinnson when Feydis and Thorgils Eiríksdóttir emigrate to Vinland founding the cities of Feydisgaðr and Thorgilsskáli respectively. With their Emigration with many other Icelanders, a new generation of Vinlandish begins to arrive. The new Generation brought Christianity with them and soon began setting up churches in Vinland, this forces many people to move south colonizing PEI naming it Veiðrmark, the other major group of migrants settle Hálsland, on Cape Breton Island, Eastern PEI and northern Nova Scotia. King Thurid Halfdanson of Hálsland would bring Christianity farther South, establishing the first Bishoprics in Hálsland.
Those who traded with the natives were nicknamed by the Miqmac "Muin" or Bear for their large size. This name eventually took root, to describe those who intermarried with the Miqmac. The Muiners were divided into three kingdoms Norðumuinland in the Far North of the Gaspé peninsula, Suðumuinland just south of that, and Jihptuland in the far south. The major thing that delineated the three Kingdoms was how Christianised they were. Jihptuland's capital Guthrumborg, was a center of Christian learning and home to the massive Guthrumborg library.
Christian scholars looking to learn more of the Natives sailed farther west in 1236 looking to convert as many natives as possible. The first of the three missionaries Saint Halfdan of Agamok set up the City of Esa'tligi, on the site of modern-day Quebec. the other Two Missionaries founded Þengilrholt on the cite of Modern-day Montreal. The Þengilrholt Community became a Christian enclave in an increasingly Norse Pagan region, as Refugees of religious persecution by the Christians in the East forced them West to settle their own Communities. Saint Ivan of Þengilrholt would settle Papirland as a bishopric to convert the descendants of those refugees.
Native Lenape natives would begin to form Norse style Kingdoms to the south of Ericksland, in the Modern-day Massachusets bay region and New York, The Norse Missionaries would settle Nyrjorvik as a missionary settlement to convert the Lenape.
