Poorly equipped, unwilling fighters, and poor garrisons*, they are best used only for population relocation in the more populated areas of the south. Peasants - As with all factions, our generals are capable of rounding up peasants and forcing them to fight. We have but limited people, but each does their job well, especially the infantry that dominate our armies. Naturally you should also like to know something of our forces. From there a decent powerbase could truly be established, to change history forever. My recommendation, traveller, should you choose to listen, would be the conquest of Frisia or the lands of the Chatti, or both, and then an invasion of Britain. The greatest threat comes from the risk of the Romano-British rising against us once the Romans are gone from the isles, but this can surely be dealt with using Saxon steel and cunning tactics. Inhabited by the Romans and the Celts, it is far from defenseless, but would prove much easier to defend than mainland Europe. East, across the Baltic lies nothing but the steppes, and to the north nothing but snow and blackness but west. Beyond the Rhine and Danube lies the Western Roman Empire. South of the Burgundii lie the Lombardi, while south of the Franks lie the Alemanni. Beware when expanding to the south, however, for beyond the lands of the Frisii lie the Romans, and the Chatti share a border with the Franks, to the south, and the Burgundii to the east, two peoples who would pose a threat to any such conquests. Off the coast admiral Bergarda's fleet awaits commands, while the diplomat Eutlinde, the spy Ricburgis and Gundioc the assassin rest in villages about the peninsula.īeyond the river that provides an easily defended southern border lie the lands of the Frisii and the Chatti, two independent peoples that should be fairly easily assimilated into our kingdom. Gelder's garrison contains only peasants, levy spearmen and a unit of hunters, although his son and heir, Freawine, is camped to the south of the city with his personal guard, a unit of keels and another of hunters. The region itself is also lined with roads, farms and a shipwright on the western coast.
If you are truly a warlord of the calibre which we believe, you will be able to aid us seize control of 18 regions, and hold not only Tribus Saxones, but Belgica and Britannia Superior as well.Īt present, as I have already explained, we control only the region of Scandinavia, known to others as 'Tribus Saxones.' The capital, where Gelder, the leader of our people, rules, is a city of not inconsiderable size - within its walls lie many buildings a city barracks, practice field, a large market, or forum, to the Romans, cesspit, a blacksmith, a temple to the god Ull, and of course our governor's palace. For this reason, our men are able sailors and warriors, and eager to carve out a new home - the Roman provinces of Britain and the coast of Gaul in particular call to us. Arable land in this region, although of good quality, is little, and our people seek a more hospitable place land to call home. Our kingdom lies across Scandinavia, with our capital in the city of Vicus Saxones. In the meantime, I shall tell you of my people, the Saxons, who seek your aid. It's unwieldy at the best of times when I write, even worse when I haven't spoken it, and only written short phrases, for more than 6 weeks.Ĭritique, s'il vous plaît! It is quite in depth. Since BI seems to have been for the most part neglected where faction overviews are concerned, I figured I'd try to remedy this.
