Following the failure to take Denmark, the lords took. More subdued approach. The armies marched into the strongholds of the tribesmen, asking them to renounce their old gods, for they had betrayed them, and worship Shal'vor. Should the promises of glorious death in battle and an afterlife in paradise failed, they owudo challenge the champions of the tribes to fight one of the champions of Shal'vor. Considering that Shal'vor's champions were undead or powerful beings, they always won. Should even that fail to subdue them hey' simply kill them all. This tactic worked surprisingly well as they made their way north and then east, until all of Scandinavia was part of a new glorious nation under the protection of Shal'vor. New Helhiem, if you will. Then they began the campaign south.

Shal'vor's hordes charged through western Russia, making their way into Eastern Europe. They broke through the Germanic tribes, scattering hem to the wind. Word had gotten out by now, and hundreds of tribes fled before, them in a giant tidal wave of fear that pushed forward, devouring everything in it's path, until it reached the Roman Empire.
