## History

### Anglia's Origins

Anglia began as part of the mainland in the early days of time. According to legend, all races originated on this small piece of land. Soon, the races began to migrate, leaving a certain group of people behind.

These people were known as the Anglii. They lived in a hunter-gatherer community and gradually transitioned to agriculture and trade. After a long period, several kingdoms were established.

Following the great sinking of the landmass between Anglia and Aricia, the Anglii became dependent on seafaring. This led to significant breakthroughs in trade and colonization.

### Anglia and Jumneland

After the migration of the Jumningen, a tribe of people in the northern regions of Anglia, they settled in a lush and fertile land in the north of Mundus. This land soon became known as Jumneland. Jumneland developed its own distinct culture, in which warfare played a significant role.

Due to these wars and harsh cold winters, Jumneland faced great danger. Entire forests disappeared, and barren ice plains spread across the land. People suffered from food shortages, and entire fields froze over. This marked the era of plundering raids.

### Folcwald and Æthelred

De plundering raids were led by a new leader of the Nords (the new name of the Jumningen). This leader was called Folcwald, a massive and brutal man with a thirst for war and blood.

Folcwald succeeded in raiding Anglian kingdoms and returned to Jumneland as a wealthy man.

After years had passed, Folcwald returned to Anglia, where he was met by Æthelred, the king of the mightiest kingdom in Anglia; Suthia. Æthelred cleverly overpowered Folcwald in battle, managing to subdue and capture him with only 8 men. Folcwald was subsequently publicly executed.

## Anglian Kingdoms

### Eurvic

Eurvic was the northernmost kingdom in Anglia. It was in this realm that the Jumningen originated, eventually migrating northwards. The capital of Eurvic shared the same name - Eurvic. Present-day Eurvic is under the control of Finn Folcwalding, the first Nordse king to rule over all of Anglia.

### Midrîce

Midrîce, the central kingdom in Anglia, once stood as the mightiest realm until it erupted into war, torn apart by factions vying for the throne. Now, it exists as a divided kingdom, lacking a true ruler. The authority of Folcbald Folcwalding, however, is officially recognized as the ruling force. The capital of this realm is named Frêoburh.

### Hæfweg

Hæfweg, a small kingdom in the east of Anglia, places a central emphasis on seafaring, with most expeditions venturing eastward. Hæfweg enjoys relative peace, focusing primarily on trade and maritime pursuits, a direction well-driven by the current Ealdorman Rædwæld Folcwalding, who earned his recent promotion after the kingdom's conquest. The capital of this realm is named Hæfleot.

### Suthia

Suthia, the southernmost kingdom in Anglia, rose to prominence after the fall of Midrîce under the rule of King Æthelred. However, following Æthelred's demise at the hands of Finn Folcwalding, Æthelred's brother, Ælfric, pledged his loyalty to the Folcwalding brothers. Ælfric was permitted to retain his brother's lands on the condition that Finn's absolute sovereignty be acknowledged and upheld throughout all of Anglia. The capital of this realm is the city of Suthceaster.
