Making William a Conqueror or reuniting Charlemagne's empire as one of his grandkids is a fine way to get started. But eventually, you may want to try something a bit weirder.
By 867, most of the former Persian Empire has been taken over by Muslim conquerors, but a significant portion of its people still follow the ancient Zoroastrian faith native to the area. Only two Zoroastrian rulers along the coast of the Caspian Sea remain independent: Vandad of Gurgan and Wahsudan of Gilan. Gurgan is a bit stronger militarily, but regardless of who you choose, you will have quite an uphill battle ahead of you against your expansionist Muslim neighbors.
In West Africa, many cultures gain access to war canoes that can do the same thing. The followers of the Mandé Bidaic faith along the Niger River are particularly well-suited to take advantage of this. Like the Norse, they practice human sacrifice and can gain piety by raiding their neighbors for captives. And their swift ships give them access to the spoils at the heart of the rich Ghana Empire, as well as the entirety of what colonizers would come to call the Gold Coast.
