Oh god DAMN IT. Why did you kill them off?! Things were going so well for Britannia, and now all that hard work is crumbling apart? PISCHOVINSKI!!!
I am very sorry but history has its ups and downs
____________________________________________________
Britannia:
Roman Britannia sunk into chaos after the events of 398: Ambrosius’ and Severinus’ empire claims the whole of Roman Britain and actually of the rest empire. They are lucky if they can succeed with dominating the island. The northern border was left by the Saxon troops and so was Ordovicium in the west of the island. The Saxons are moving friendlier areas in the south. Around Londinium a second Emperor rose to power: Basiliscus. He gained power after the most of Serenus’ troops and fleet left to support Serenus’ Regnum Romanorum. The wandering Saxons are probably a much bigger threat to Basiliscus’ position than his northern rivals. Also some minor factions emerged on the island since Serenus left: the region of Cantium and the land south of the delta of the Sabriana are in the hands of sympathizers of Serenus. The most eastern region of Britain is controlled by a man named Valentinus. He told Ambrosius and also Basiliscus that he would stay loyal but loyal to who? The island is a complicated mess.
Gallia:
The north of Gallia is dominated by the many petite Frankish kingdoms. Some of them are allied to Serenus’ Kingdom. They are busy with internal fights and could never really be united under one ruler. The offspring of the once mighty king Sigiric fight together in the union of Tornacum to gain domination over the other kings. South of the Franks, Serenus controls his Roman domain. The western part, Aremorica, is the most loyal one and was already ruled for many years by Serenus’ father Eucherius. Some areas in the realm enjoy some kind of autonomy: Colonia, the city is governing itself more or less, and the land at the Ligara that were freed by its population. Serenus’ brother-in-law the Saxon Luitgard rules over his tribe and advanced recently south of the Ligara to fight the Goths, which are busy in the south. At the Rhenus the Burgundians live. Their once united kingdom collapsed two years ago and they also lost their land at the Danubius. At the Arar/Saône valley the troops of Aemilius stand against all odds. Their leader is still loyal to the old Britannian emperor but doesn’t know what is happening on the island. Sooner or later his realm will fall to Serenus or the Alemannians. Latter control the Alps and Raetia. A few little kingdoms are controlling the southern Alpine passes; the rest of the land is divided between Northern and Southern Alemannia. The southern king gave his oldest son the command about the Gallian army and the land at Rhodanus to govern, whereas the king himself is leading troops to Italia. The South of Gallia is dominated by the Goths. Like his father, Himivin, Theodavin did the mistake of neglecting the northern border. The king couldn’t stop the Silingian Vandals as they marched through his land but he could secure the most of the devastated land. Nevertheless Gothic presence east of the Alps is very weak.
Hispania:
The Goths are advancing at the eastern coast, the Huns on the western. Latter were settled here after the Romans defeated Ultzindur and reconquered Constantinopolis and Roma. North of the Huns Saxons control Galicia but are unable to expand further. In the mountains many Romano-Cantabrian statelets are controlling the land. Here the Imperial presence was always pretty weak and the Cantabrians governed themselves for many decades. Only the far south is still under Imperial control.
Italia and Africa:
The north of Italia is controlled by general Avitus who acts in the name of Emperor Alexander. Alexander’s father Theodosius is the emperor of the east. The most of the peninsula and of Africa is in the hands of the Vandals. They appointed a powerless emperor to cement their alliance. The Silingian Vandals control Italia but have a hard time securing the land north of the Apennine Mountains. The older and mightier kingdom is the Hasdingian Vandal-Kingdom of Carthago. Since the foundation of the kingdom several decades have passed but with the decades also the rule over most Mauretanian tribes passed away. Especially in the west the Mauretanians are not anymore under Vandal authority. Emperor Petronius Probus is a Vandal prisoner in the city of Roma. The city is not part of one of the Vandal kingdoms but its ports are controlled by the Silingi.
The East:
In what was once Pannonia two Hunnic groups founded independent states and so did the Germanic Rugii. The most of the Huns are still united under their king Ultzindur, but his empire got smaller in the last years. In the moment he has to fight Transcarpathian statelets and warlords which broke free from his rule. Their population is very divers and consist of Romans, Goths, Huns, Alans, Gepids and many other peoples. The Crimea is controlled by a Gothic group. The Bosporian Kingdom is their vassal. In the Caucasus region Armenia is the strongest power, runner up is the expanding Iberia. Armenia was freed from Persian rule by the Romans in the 420s.
