Alberich

Alberich, c 1000 CE
Time has fallen into some confusion (likely due to a Reality Quake)
"Two popes contend for the Throne of Peter, and claim each other Antichrist. Then there is a great comet appears in heaven in September, and fiery armies are seen contending in the skies over Rheims. Saint Anthony's Fire grips Burgundy and France, bringing hallucinations and madness in its wake -- or perhaps it brings demons and night-hags. The moon has crimsoned over Germany, a lidless red eye staring down at a realm covered in primeval forest, a realm grown from the ancient Saxon marches of the sundered Grossreich of Charlemagne. The Saxons grew from the roots of a white tree -- the Irminsul -- and a shoot from their branch, Otto III, has claimed the throne of the Reich. Literally, as it happens: Otto entered the tomb of Charlemagne, hidden and inviolate for 200 years, and removed the Undying Kaiser's throne and regalia. He has gifted powerful artifacts from Charlemagne's tomb (the Spear and the Crown) to the kings of the Easterlings, the Slav and Magyar hordes his ancestors had warred against, and spread his cloak and power over them. And from the finger of Charlemagne, Otto drew off the Ring of the Nibelungs, and placed it on his own hand."
