Paganism's Last Stand

Description
Norse/Romuva Paganism's Last Stand



A simple mod that gives a few Pagan religions and Judaism several provinces in Europe at the start date. The Pagans are are the last hold outs of non-Christian Europe and only exists in the rural and overgrown forests of Northern Europe.

The final Norse Province on Earth is centered around Trollkyrka or "Troll's church" in Sweden where Norse inspired animal sacrifices would continue into the 18th Century. Southern Sweden was the last region of Norse Scandinavia to convert to Christianity.

Lithuanians were the last non-nomadic European people to adopt Christianity, only doing so in 1387. The peasantry though continued to practice traditional pagan beliefs for decades afterwards. Samogitia would become the last major stronghold of Paganism in Europe, so much so that the Teutonic Order even waged crusades against the region until 1410.

Suomenusko remains the religion of Northern Scandinavia, where significant Nordic/Christian settlement wouldn't occur until the 17th century. The nomadic Sami people would practice their beliefs well into the Modern Era.

Judaism has been granted 3 Provinces in Europe, 1 in Spain and 2 in Poland. Spain during the era of Muslim control was home to a strong and thriving Jewish community centered around Sevilla. The Catholic monarchs of the Iberian Peninsula will quickly crack down on this community though and by 1492 completely demand their expulsion from the country. Poland on the other hand would be one of the most tolerant regions on Earth for the Jewish People. During EU4s timeline Poland would become home to the largest Jewish Community on Earth. It was the only region in Europe where Jews were granted autonomy and even their own land to farm.

Not True. Slavic People started adopting Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism in mass in the 900s-1000s while Sweden slowly started adopting Christianity from the Top down. While The First Christian Swedish Kings existed around the 900s, they had a very tolerant and hands off approach towards Norse believers. Norway even launched an anti-pagan crusade against Southern Sweden in 1100s

The Norse converted at the same time

Slavs were thoroughly Orthodox or Christian by 1444. The Baltics were the last region of Eastern Europe to adopt Catholicism.

Where is Slavic?

I was thinking that but there's an event for the Ottomans that does that already.

While you're at it, make Thessalonica jewish as well since it did have a significant and old Jewish population.

I like this mod - it is historical enough, but at the same time adds much-needed flavor to Europe.
