The island is inhabited by three main groups. The Mikmak[Micmaq Indians] are resisting the Norse [and largely pagan]colonists inhabiting the northern portions of the island. A small group of Irish have settled on the seaward reaches of the island, and are attempting to convert the heathens[white and red alike].These Irish are schismatics who do not acknowledge Rome's authority. This effort has already produced numerous martyrs. The Mimak nation live in the old way as hunters and fishers, but have adopted iron arms and some boatmaking techniques from the Northmen. Colonists live much as they do in other colonies nearby, save that the threat of violence is even higher.

A timber and earth was built here by an exiled Northumbrian thane and his followers about 50 years ago.  He Named the settlment "Mount Trinity." Now the the man's grandson rules a growing settlement of mostly Saxon extraction, and leads his people in battle against the heathen Iricweas[ Iriqouis]. Many of the Irikwaes have been gathered to the service of a great devil whom they call Ithacwa the Windwalker. Their witch chieftains command not only mortal warriors , but also wendigos bound by magic, werewolves, and demonic tree -giants[Entas].

The Norse built a trading post here and it's grown into a fair sized town in the last couple of generations. The people acknowledge Vinland's authority only in theory.

Irish monastics succeeded in at least partially converting most of the natives.Pastoralism is the way of life for most of the island's people. Cows are held to be ''medicine animals'' by the natives. The early monks discovered a way to use cowpox to give partial immunity to smallpox, a fortuitous discovery that lead to the salvation of many native lives and conversion of many souls. The technique is freely disseminated, and is spreading to other settlements.The Vinland bishops have sometimes derided the islanders as ''cow cultists''.
