Bannerlord is a prequel to Warband, Swadia doesn't exist yet.

They haven't formed yet. IIRC, this takes place before the time of Warband. And none of the faction from Warband are in the game under their original name.

Vlandia becomes Swadia... I think?

this game takes palce about 200 to 300 years before warband, what we have in bannerlrod are the ancestors of the warand factions.

Vlandia = Swadia
Sturgia= Vaegir with some nord mercenaries
Khuzait= Khergit
Aserai= Sarranid

Look at the names of the places in Vlandia (shape as well), they occupy a good portion of 'western' Caladria as seen in warband. I'll never forgive Suno getting commented out though, reeeee!

Vlandia is Swadia. They even have a city called 'Pravend' aka Praven from Warband (Swadian capital).

You need to accumulate alot of butter for Vlandia to assume its final form!

In my opinion, Stugia is more relaed to the Nords

If I had the time, I'd make it a CK2 meme. "Form Swadia? (This decision will cost 10,000 Butter.)"

its not though, the description of sturgia ingame states that it are sturgians with some nordic mercenaries who migrated into sturgian territory and the devblog post about the inspiration behind the faction states:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/261550/announcements/detail/3065128041437312867

The Sturgians are based on the federation of city-states known as Kievan Rus, located in today's Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Like many boomtowns, the Rus river cities attracted people from faraway lands. Predominantly Slavic communities were forming into states at a breakneck pace and borrowing institutions, religions, and ways of trade and war from their neighbours. Greek missionaries, Finnic foresters, Turkic and Iranian steppe tribes, and most famously the Varangian Norse all left their mark on the aesthetics of Russian art, arms and armour. We think the motifs and styles of Sturgian equipment – gilded and peaked helmets, furs and gold brocade, runes and gripping beasts and folk embroidery and Arabesques -- will make it some of the most spectacular in the game.

....................

Now, the Nords were a favourite faction in Warband, and we know a lot of people are drawn to Vikings - the blood eagles, the shipboard funeral pyres, the berserkers eager to join the feasting at Valhalla. Sturgia is Nordic-influenced but it's not really a Viking state: the Nordlands are off of the map (for the present, anyway) and they wouldn't really form the kind of proto-feudal kingdom that the Bannerlord factions represent. But, if players want to have a west Scandinavian-style play experience, the raiding, the companions, the ring-swords, two-handed axes, Valsgarde helmets, hauberks and raven banners will all be there. Among the Sturgian minor factions are the Skolderbroda, a mercenary brotherhood based on the (possibly legendary) Jomsvikings of the Baltic. The Finnic tribes meanwhile are represented by the Sons of the Forest, a semi- nomadic clan that practices swidden slash-and-burn agriculture in the depths of the woods. At any rate, there should be plenty of allies and plenty of enemies for players who want to win their inheritance with the blade, the Rus way, in this cold land of deadly opportunity.

Yeah the factions just change positions and names between the two. Like the Vlandians conquer more east and then split into the Swadians and Rhodoks. Like in Warband, Uxkhal is a city of Swadia. But in Bannerlord, Ocs Hall is a town of (I think) Batannia

Hm, no offense OP, but shouldn't you have done at least some basic research yourself before starting a thread here asking it?

I never understood how so many people immediately go to a Forum and open threads for questions instead of doing the much quicker option of Googling it, or in other ways do a small amount of research.

Sometimes that doesn't help because certain Info are too obscure, but the question of the OP is really not.
