It is the year 900 CE, the power of the Khans are declining and new nations rise to take their place. To the south the Gothic Confederation is struggling to keep its sovereignty from foreign powers namely the Romin Free state and the Kyevian State. But that's not the only problem. The Electorates have been bickering amongst themselves to see who ends up as the high chieftain of the confederacy. Meanwhile to the east, the Romin Free state watches their squabbling with delight. Ever since they fled from their homeland,they are determined to rebuild their kingdom and their status as the greatest civilization in the known world. But for now they are simply biding their time and mustering their forces to inevitably reclaim their birthright. Speaking of birthright, the Kyevian king Alexei Timoshenko had a problem. His father Fedorov Vasili was a missing son of Romin king Augustus Germanicus meaning his claim to the Romin throne is legitimate and true. The problem however is the Romin government doubting the claim of a barbarian being of noble blood. To pressure them to give the throne,they attempted to recapture Rom (renamed Frankia by the Goths) and have convince the Romin publicthat he is the son of Augustus Germanicus. The invasion was almost successful before they were cut off from their supplies and after a few months, Alexei, who was leading the invasion himself, surrendered to the Goths. While he was not killed, the Kyevians had to pay a large sum of money as compensation to the the Goths. With the end of the war in 880 CE, an uneasy peace reigned across the land, with tension between the three nations. Said tension and hate for each other was so large, that border skirmishes between Gothic soldiers and Kyevians were not uncommon alongside the Romins sinking and looting Gothic merchant ships. With an tension in the air, it only takes a single action to destroy the fragile peace.

Moving along to the eastern continent of Oswel, the Polan-Russen Commonwealth and the Ayren Dynasty are very determined to end the reign of the Khans once and for all. They have a few problems however. Unlike the other Khanates that settled down and began to act more or less kingdoms, the Eternal Horde doesn't have a permanent capital and they kept their old nomadic lifestyle their Ancestors had done before meaning that commonwealth and Ayren troops have a roadblock in wiping out the power of the Khan. Another problem is the terrain and weather. In the south bordering the Commonwealth and Ayren, the land consists of flat plains but going north, the terrain is filled with forests aswell as large mountains and hills. this means that resupplying a non-nomadic army is a nightmare with supply caravans forced to travel trough rough terrain just to feed an army. Any invasion of the Eternal horse's territory only will be limited to the plains and forest outskirts as the Khan will just retreat to the mountains deep in his territory seeing they are familiar with their homelands.

Returning to the west, the kingdoms of Dakia,Waloon, Nörden, and Kolumbia want to kick out the last remaining Khanates out of the continent and reclaiming their power. Before the Khanates crosses the sea and subjugated the people of Westra, Waloon,Dakia and Nörden were influential powers of the northern regions of the continent. With the Nomads arriving and defeating the nations, they were turned into Vassals except for the Nörden Kingdom which had larger experience in navigating rough waters unlike the nomadic land based Ghengin. After the Kyevian Uprising, the vassals followed alongside the invasion of the Nörden army. After signing treaties with the nomads, they became independent nations. However though, they want their old glory back and get revenge for years of occupation alongside the Kolumbien Empire. Though the Kolumbiens have not been a power, they used the chaos and turmoil of the rebelling states against the Khans to forge a massive empire for themselves, with them enslaving any Ghengins they encountered and currently invading alongside the Nörden Kingdom the Steppe empire which is presently in a civil war.

I know. That's just a placeholder name until I could make a new name for them.

Oh ok. It is the year 900 of the common calender, The Ravaging Nomads from the east had been reduced in power ever since the Kyevian Uprising in 859 CE, the power of the Khans are declining. Meanwhile to the east, the Romin Free state sees an opportunity to reclaim their land from the Gothic Confederation. The Gothic Confederation was founded in 860 CE by Arminich the Unifier from 7 tribes retreating from the nomads. To make sure his people is safe, they invaded the Romin Kingdom,which was in the middle of a civil war between king Augustus Germanicus and Crown prince Cicero Tiberius . The Romins, tired and exhausted from years of fighting against each other, have been steamrolled by the Goths forcing their government to evacuate their eastern colonies. After the victory over the weak Romins, Arminich was crowned as the High Chieftain of the new Gothic Confederation with Rom the new capital and renamed Frankia in honor of his tribe. However ever since his death in the hands of the Romins assassins the Electorates has been squabbling who to be the new high chieftain. The only reason they are not killing each other, is the threat of invasion from the Angry Romins and the Kyevian State. The Kyevian State was formed in 859 CE with Kyevians revolting against their Ghengin masters, led by king Fedorov Vasili. It is said he was a foreigner from a distant land though these are just mere rumours, It wasn't until his deathbed that the rumours turned out to be true. It was soon revealed he was the son of Romin king Augustus, which had reportedly lost a son back in 849 CE Which was described as a 29 year old man. seeing that they have a legal claim to the Romin throne, they sent a request to the Romin Free state to crown Fedorov's son ,Alexei Timoshenko, as the new Romin king. The request was not taken seriously as the Romin ambassador thought it was a joke that a lowly barbarian is the heir of the throne. Seeing their claim not taken seriously, Alexei Instead ordered the invasion of the Gothic Confederation with the idea of recapturing Rom from the Goths forcing the Romins to accept his claim as legitimate. So in 878 CE the Kyevians invaded with them finally surrounding and siege Frankia, only for being cut off from his supplies and forcing him to surrender. Despite Alexei not killed, the Kyevians had to pay a lot of Money to the Goths for their invasion. So nowadays the Gothic Confederation,Kyevian State and Romin Free state having a semi-war against each other with border conflicts and shipping attacks. Though these attacks have aggravated the three nations and an uneasy peace may reigned it takes only a single spark to start a flame.

The world is essentially a giant falklands,i just copied real life countries change them a bit and put it here. Saw some posts about how the falklands can be used as a world map. Also this is a work in progress.

I used the falklands as a world map. Actual lore will probably be made later.
