did anyone pick up where Amleth's OG kingdom was supposed to be? I googled "Hrafnsey" and I'm just getting a town in Iceland

regarding the slaves, yeah-they probably die of starvation and exposure, but if you remember the early scene, the freemen expect them all to die over winter anyway. Being slaves in fjolnir’s estate didn’t provide them any sort of meaningful protection, and they were expected to die of exposure as-is, so burning the longhouse down wasn’t really self destructive so much as a last bit of catharsis.

I recommend reading Independent People by Halldor Laxness if you're curious just how much it loving sucked to live in Iceland for pretty much the past one thousand years (also if you're in the mood for a genuinely fantastic book)
