Reworked Norse culture split (17-09-18)
All right. I've been feeling extra industrious lately (or I've just been procrastinating), so I finally achieved one of my big goals: a new set of Scandinavian cultures!
Don't even ask how long it took (especially adding entries for landed_titles localisation) and how stiff my neck is...
The East Norse cultures (Danish, Swedish, Geatish, and Gutnish) will split off in the 10th century, all except Gutnish later developing into younger forms. Norwegian splits off in the 11th century, while Iceland and other West Norse areas in the Atlantic will remain the same.

Base:
- Four new cultures derived from the Norse: Svænskr (will later develop into Svænskær, i.e. Swedish), Gøzkr (later Gøzkær, i.e. Geatish), Danskr (later Dansk, i.e. Danish), and Gutniscr (Gutnish). The early East Norse cultures start to appear in the year 900, and will use Old East Norse as a base (post-monophthongization), except Gutniscr which is entirely distinct. The later (Swedish, Geatish, and Danish) ones start to appear around 1100, and will use Old Swedish and Old Danish (though character names are WIP, so they remain modern Swedish and Danish for now).
- The Norwegian culture is now called "Norrønn" and uses Old Norwegian (much closer to Old Norse/Icelandic than modern Norwegian), it starts to separate from Norse (Norrœn) around the year 1000 (usually after the death of Canute the Great if you start in 1018).
- Character and province history-files as well as title localisation overhauled to reflect the above changes.
- Asbjørn, the brother of Svend Estridsen, now holds the titular Jarldom of Denmark in 1066 (he was styled "Eydanajarl").
- Thrugot is now Jarl of Jutland again in 1066 (he is sometimes described as "hirðjarl" to Svend Estridsen).
- The Jarldom of Sjælland is now distributed amongst the sons of Svend Estridsen after his death, as described by Knýtlinga saga.
- Lettigallian culture renamed "Letu" (as suggested by Herr Doctor).
- Other minor changes and corrections.

Features:
- New Norse-derived Scandinavian cultures: Danskr, Svænskr, and Gøzkr, (these three will split off in the early 10th century and use late Old East Norse language; developing into younger versions using Old Danish and Old Swedish in the 12th century). Gutniscr (using Old Gutnish) will appear on the island of Gotland in the 10th century, and Norrønn (using Old Norwegian) will split off from Norse in the 11th century.
- Reworked Norse and Norse-derived (including melting-pot) character and dynasty names as well as noble and landed title localisation.
- Changes and corrections to the title and character setup in the Scandinavian kingdoms.
- New or tweaked names and localisation for neighbouring cultures (Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Balto-Slavic, and Finno-Ugric), including an effort to replace all remaining "High Chiefs".
- Revision of the Rus setup, with a new Polotsk cadet branch of the Rurikids, revised succession laws for Kiev, and fixes to the Novgorod Republic, etc.
- Tweaked Norse-Gaelic and Anglo-Danish melting-pots.
- Other minor changes that enhance the experience when playing within the Norse sphere of influence.
