id like to bring the vikings back on iron man w the Norse religions and cultures is this possible? any cool formables? if so with what nation do i start with? thanks

There is no direct viking formable, but the danish, norwegian and generic scandinavian missions(when forming it as a country which was never denmark, norway or sweden) have a norse branch which renames your country to “North Sea Empire”.
To get norse religion, you can use one of the following ways:
* a mod (contrary to popular belief, all mods are ironman compatible, but such a mod would disable achievements)
* a custom nation
* the A Wave of Curiosity[eu4.paradoxwikis.com] event chain (needs a lot of luck or savescumming)
* the event The Awakening of the Norse Faith[eu4.paradoxwikis.com](very reliable if you manage to get animist zealots into scandinavia early in the age of reformation. There are several strategies to achieve that and guides which explain the details)

If you don't use a custom nation, there is an event which changes your culture to norse if you have the norse religion: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Norse_events#Return_of_the_Norse_Culture (as a custom nation, you can just start with norse culture).

You might also find posts about a norwegian mission event which finds a norse colony in greenland, but that event is disabled and can only be triggered with mods, console commands or cheats.

What I forgot to mention is that this event only converts a province to norse and not your country. But it also spawns norse zealots. If you let them convert enough of your development, so that norse has more development than any other religion in your country, you can let them convert your country by letting them occupy your capital for 2 years

It was never possible to get that event in a release version of the game. Despite what ludi claims, it also wasn't in any pre-release version which was given to content creators. Early in the development of the DLC, it was decided to not include that event in the game.

Dang this is gonna be the first time i just let rebels sit in my providences lol goes against all the hours of wiping rebels out but im gonna do it so i can get this event. Definetley gonna try to get it as early as possible in case i decide to do a WC, most of the time i try to RP a nation it always ends up with a WC lol

Thats funny you mentioned ludi though i literally just found him doing a norse playthrough they even have an achievement for it so im gonna have to collect it now lol

The achievement requires that you start as a norse custom nation(and some other conditions). Then you won't need the events.
