## History

### Macian Rael

During Xc.e. the Macian Emperor Marcus Volusi declared that the land to the north was owed to the Macian empire by the gods, he cited the poems of Saint Vopicus in which it is said that when the gods looked down on the earth they saw the savagery of man and wished that there world instead was filled with beauty. According to Volusi, and the scholars he surrounded himself with in order to investigate these poems, a great flood had been sent and from the flood was born the Macian empire. Opposing beliefs emerged that proposed the flood in which Vopicus spoke was that which destroyed the great city of Esalba. Despite opposing beliefs Volusi invaded the northern lands of Oriern and carved out further territory for the Macian Empire.

Another popular theory for this supposed switch in attention by Macian conflict proposes that the tribes inhabiting the region were causing the emperor great annoyance with there constant raids and it is even possible that word between the Rael tribes and empire's enemies had been intercepted and therefore action was required before Rael fell into an alliance with X or even X.

There is some controversy as to why Macian rule ended in Rael, yet most scholars agree that abandoning the land was a strategic decision. Many of the tribes folk had been driven out of the land, yet concentrations of Raech still provided issues for the Empire with constant violence. Due to the numerous wars in the south, it is widely accepted that Emperor Gallui Octanius declared the lands unholy and invited a mass migration back to the homeland. Whatever the reason, many settlements were abandoned and the Raech reclaimed their land and the lands once held by their neighbouring tribes.

### Post-Macian Raech

As the 4th millenia (common era) began to ripen, however, Macian forces had been largely withdrawn. Many ~~Germanic~~ immigrants from the North east began to arrive in increasing numbers during the following centuries, establishing small farms and settlements, and their language, which evolved through a combination of the languages of the Raechic and Helanic tribes, the migrants' language and Macian, swiftly spread as more settlers arrived and those of the previous inhabitants who had not moved west or fled south to remain in the Macian Empire switched in order to continue their business and livelihoods.

After having been forced to roam small stretches of land east of the Macian control, the tribes begun raiding the land

### The Raechic Kingdoms

many of the high ups renounce their claims on the land meaning it was left to their inferiors. some of these inferiors had no better life back home than the land, which they had helped to conquer and been granted, provided them in Rael and therefore chose to stay. Much of the south was just close enough to the borders of the empire that the new rulers could rely on at least a decent amount of volunteers looking to seek glory that they did not leave, but more north was reclaimed by the Rael and...

Some families that had fled to the northern continent decided to return to their ancestorial homeland hoping to easily reclaim land now that the Macians had left but instead found themselves part of a struggle where anyone and everyone who could carved out a piece of land for themselves.

~~New political and social identities emerged, including an Anglian culture in the east of England and a Saxon culture in the south, with local groups establishing *regiones*, small polities ruled over by powerful families and individuals. By the 7th century, some rulers, including those of Wessex, East Anglia, Essex, and Kent, had begun to term themselves kings, living in *villae regales*, royal centres, and collecting tribute from the surrounding *regiones*; these kingdoms are often referred to as the Heptarchy~~
