| 1 | Fire Warms the Northern Lands is an AfterActionReport of ''VideoGame/VictoriaAnEmpireUnderTheSun'' by Creator/ParadoxInteractive Forums member Rensslaer. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | It details the rise of the Kingdom of UsefulNotes/{{Prussia}} from its not-so-humble origins as a German Great Power to a world power encompassing Central Europe, and the trials and tribulations it encounters along the way. The story is told both through history-book style retrospectives and narratives, each proceeding to add their touches to the main story. |

| 8 | * AfterActionReport |
| 9 | * AlternateHistory: This is a Paradox game, after all. |
| 10 | * AuthorAvatar: Pieter van Rennsslaer. Slight subversion in that [[WordOfGod Rensslaer didn't intend for him to be such]]. |
| 11 | * BalkanizeMe: [[spoiler: The eventual fate of the Austrian Empire, but happens in a much different fashion than in our UsefulNotes/WorldWarI.]] |
| 12 | * BittersweetEnding[=/=]DownerEnding: Prussia establishes itself as the hegemon of Central Europe, but [[spoiler: its neighbors have all fallen to Fascism and Communism, and the only other major liberal democracies, the UK and the US, don't like Prussia very much]]. |
| 13 | * ForWantOfANail: The game's point of divergence is simply the death of Prince Frederick William, who in our timeline became king. Here he does not, leaving his brother William to take the throne earlier. |
| 14 | * LastStand: Munich proves to be ''very'' resilient against the Prussian forces. And then there's the formidable defense of the northern England beachhead [[spoiler: in the Second Anglo-Prussian War]]. |
