400s RP: Germania / Teutonica / Francia

328: The Ripuarian tribe of the Franks encounters a Roman legion along the Rhine River. The tribe attacks the Roman legion and succeeds in shattering the weakened Roman division, however, the manpower cost for the Frankish tribe is very high. From the battle emerges an young 18 year old woman who charismatically unites the survivors, despite her gender. Calling them to arms, they centralize their holdings. The Ripuarian tribe is severely damaged, but the other Germanic tribes are weak as well, pressured hard against the Roman attempts to cross into Germania.

330: Adelheid Helisacharis is named the Chieftess of the Ripuarians, as the Ripuarian army enters Kölle and drives the Romans from the region. The Roman legion some how does not return, which worries Adelheid that their revenge is incoming.

331: Adelheid marries the young Chief of the Thuringians, Leufred, in order to bolster the weakened tribe's fortunes. The Thuringians and Ripuarians are very interested in the idea of creating a unified tribe to deal with Roman aggression. The two agree to call their new dynasty Ripuarii, in honor of the nearly wiped out tribe and for the vanguards of the new Frankish state.

335: Adelheid gives birth to a daughter, whom she names Emma. In this time, the Thuringians and Ripuarii discuss a potential campaign against the Lombards, who live in OTL Czechia. Their goal is to consolidate the Germanic tribes and form a new kingdom state.

337: Adelheid and Leufred are formally named the joint King and Queen of the Franks in a small ceremony in the city of Kölle, and drum up support for the war, however, they are soon faced with a problem from the North.

337-351: Saxon War: Saxon tribes attempt to invade Frankish territory, leading to several battles, leading to the delay of the campaign against the Lombards. The Frankish manage to stave off most of the Saxon attacks, driving the Saxons back north into Saxony and Frisia. In 351, Leufred dies, leading to Adelheid becoming the only ruling monarch in the Frankish realm as her daughter is formally named Chief of the Thuringians after her father's death.

352: Adelheid consolidates her authority over the tribes and begins an expansion program for Kolle, hoping to strengthen the state into a trading city, while also canvasing other settlements to develop. Late in the year, the Lombards attempt to cross west and are halted by the Franks. Forcing them to retreat back into "Lombardia", the Franks pursue them, engaging them several times.

352-381: Lombard-Frisian War: The Franks engage in a war against the Lombards and Frisians as they attempt to break down the growing Frankish state. Polans and Prussians join in leading campaigns south into the region, hoping to force out the Germanic tribes all together. The war is bloody, but a relatively sound victory for Francia, which subjugates the Lombards with some trouble. The Frisians manage to keep the Franks from subjugating them as the Saxons form a strong impediment to the Frankish expansion.

395: Adelheid finally succumbs to old age, leading the way for the 60 year old Emma to inherit the throne. She already has several children. Her primary heir is her daughter Joveta. However...

397: Emma dies of disease, leading to the partition of the fledgling Frankish Empire, stunting it's growth. The Frankish Kingdom is divided into three crowns, the Kingdom of Ripuaria centered around Kolle and it's neighboring region, the Kingdom of Thuringia, and the Kingdom of Lombardia. Joveta is named Queen of Ripuaria, her second-eldest child, Childebrand, is named King of the Thuringians, and her third-eldest child, Theoderada, is named Queen of the Lombards. The three reach an uneasy agreement to remain allies against the Saxons, Romans, Frisians and Slavs. Joveta is 40 years old, Childebrand is 35, and Theoderada is 27.

398-414: Third Saxon War: Believing weakness, the Saxons attempt once again to subjugate the Franks. While the Franks are initially defeated on all fronts, Childebrand scores a major victory over the Saxons just north of the Thuringian capital, however, he perishes in battle in 404. The death of Childebrand causes problems for Ripuaria and Lombardia as the two states now have a disagreement over the rightful Queen of Thuringia. The crisis comes to an unfortunate end when a Saxon huscarl regiment slaughters Joveta when she leads an army against them in 414. The war comes to an end after they realize that Theoderada has now united the Frankish tribes again, but Theoderada swears vengeance upon the Saxons for their crimes, and promises to drive them from Europe. Theoderada's eldest child, Childebrand, named for his fallen uncle who perished the year he was born, is influenced by his mother's passion to wipe the Saxons out.

414-444: Subjugation of the Germanic Tribes: Theoderada leads a campaign to subjugate the Alemanni, Burgundian and Frisians to strengthen her cause against the Saxons. She scores a string of impressive victories, and organizes a new set of states under Frankish domination. This rapid string of victories are ignored by the beleaguered Roman Empire, whose capital was sacked by the Visigothic tribes in 410. With her conquest complete, Theoderada turns her attention north.

444-449: Fourth Saxon War: In the final major war against the Saxons, Theoderada breaks the Saxons and subjugates them mercilessly, driving almost all of them out of the region. This is complicated by the sudden influx of Norse warriors into the region, who are halted in their aggressive expansion in the wake of the Hunnic conquest. The Norse stop spreading, and swear fealty to the Frankish Queen due to their religious connections.

449: Theoderada dies of old age, the Kingdom once again splinters.
Kingdom of Lombardy: King Childebrand (age 45)
Kingdom of Thuringia: King Lothar (age 43)
Kingdom of Burgundy: Queen Joveta (age 40)
Kingdom of Ripuaria: Queen Adelheid (age 39)
Kingdom of Saxony: King Charibert (age 39)
Kingdom of Frisia: King Chlodowig (age 38)

450: The Frankish realms agree to meet in Ripuaria to discuss the future of the country.

452: Frankish Empire created with the election of Childebrand as Emperor of the Franks, and the submittance of all five siblings to Childebrand's power, provided he agrees to defend the rights of the individual realms. The Frankish Empire begins the process of centralizing armies and trade power to levy against the crumbling Roman Empire.

453: Final Saxon War: A group of Saxons return from Britannia to reconquest Saxony from the Franks. They are completely shattered. Britannia and "Francia" open trade relations formally, agreeing to cooperate. The death of the Hunnic Emperor in Scandinavia brings a sigh of relief to the Franks, having secured their stability for the near future. In the intervening years between 456 and 476, the Frankish language begins to take on a new form, and is renamed "Teutonic" by Emperor Childebrand.

460s: The Frankish language begins to take on a new identity after the Ripuarians, Thuringians, Lombards, Suebi, Vandals, etc. have lived in the same realm for some time. The Teutonic language and identity begin to emerge under Childebrand.

476: After the Visigothic tribes sack Rome and depose the Roman Emperor, Emperor Childebrand of the Teutons declares war on the remnant Soissons kingdom in Gaul, intending to conquer it in the name of the Teutonic peoples. The Suebi and Vandal tribes, living in Alemannia, a tribal holding under the Kingdom of Thuringia, march west in advance, looking to carve out their own fate. 476 marks the beginning of the Gaul Campaign.

Rise of the Empire of Britannia

383: Romans withdraw from northern and western Britain after failed conquests.
386: An unusual famine in Roman Britain causes ravaging deaths as Roman soldiers soon begin to run out of food, riots break out as peasant revolts overtake northern England (near modern Yorkshire)
391: Romano-Britons expel Roman magistrates from their lands, causing a collapse of Roman authority.
393: Londonium is occupied by Roman legions before the Thames has one of the worst floods ever, causing the Legion to lose 60% of it's numbers in a matter of days, as the waters cause severe logistical damage and starvation amongst the Roman soldiers.
395: Rome withdraws from Britannia, a man named Lucius seizes power around Kent. Similar lords do so all over, establishing a patchwork of warlords.
400: Several Britannic lords, of Roman, Gaelic, or other descent, descend upon Lindum to discuss uniting against possible outside conquest, such as the Picts to the North, Franks and Romans to the South, and Saxons marauding near their shores. This convinces all of the Southern Britannic lords to unite to elect a High Chief, of which the monarchy remains such to present day. The new "High Chiefdom" spans from Kent all the way north to Eboracum (York).
402: Lucius of Durovernum, Chief of Kent, is formally elected as High Chief.
402-411: Lucius leads the Legio I Londonium, the first military formation of Britannia, west, to conquer Cornwall/Dumnonia.
412: Dumnonia falls, Lucius grants the land to his 20 year old nephew, Cyrus of Durovernum.
415: Lucius Magnus, the first High Chief, dies in Londonium, the capital of the young state at age 61. The High Chiefs from Dumnonia to the Chief of Eboracum assemble in Londonium to pick the next High Chief.
The Saxons arrive in East Anglia and start invading. The Romano-Britons and Gaels attempt to stop them, and eventually reach a settlement as the Saxons settle in.
The leader of the Saxon invasion formally decides to swear fealty to the High Chief of Britannia, and tries to influence the culture of the state.

416: Cyrus of Durovernum, Chief of Dumnonia, is formally elected High Chief.
418: Picts launch a premeditated invasion, and completely raze Luguvallium to ash. As they march toward Eboracum, Cyrus leads an army of men against them, and drives the Picts North, back across the breach in Hadrian's Wall. His Saxon huscarl regiment's commander, Æthelweard, convinces him to withdraw and leave the Picts be... for now.

421: Æthelweard, for his service to the High Chief, he is formally landed as the Chief of Dumnonia, which Cyrus has held as a personal fiefdom since 412, he is content with Durovernum and Londonium as his fiefdom.
424: Æthelweard leads the High Chief's army into battle against a second invasion, this time by the another Celtic tribe, who launch an invasion through one of the sections of Hadrian's Wall. They nearly capture Arbeia, before the Britannic army drives them back across the frontier.
427: A compact by the Chiefs formally recognizes Cyrus as "Rex Britannorum", granting him even greater temporal power over the lords, as each lord formally begins to assume the Roman title "Dux", over each province.
433: Cyrus dies of a sudden bout of disease. His hereditary lands of Durovernum pass to his son, Albus. The crown opens up for election.
434: Æthelweard of Dumnonia is elected Rex Britannorum by a large margin. Northern Lords are not happy at a Saxon being picked.
435: Northern Lords Rebellion erupts as several northern lords elect an Antirex, they choose to support the King of the Picts as the heir of Britannia -- Drest of the Picts descends south to support the Northern Lords with the full force of Britannia.

The lords of the Welsh swear fealty to Æthelweard and promise to devote soldiers to the cause against the Picts and their loyal lords.

435-446: The Northern Lords Rebellion engulfs England as the Saxons, Romano-Brits and Gaels unite against the Picts and the Northern Lords. Rex Æthelweard's authority is strengthened significantly as a result.

447: Drest retreats beyond Hadrian's Wall as the Britannian legions cross into Alba.
449: Alba is overrun by Æthelweard's armies, Drest is captured in battle and surrenders -- Alba is completely taken over by Æthelweard, who then assigns all of the land out to loyal retainers of Saxon, Roman or Gaelic origin.

453: The death of the Hunnic Emperor leads to several hundred Saxons leaving England to reclaim their homeland. They fail in their mission and of the original 800 departed Saxons, 300 return. The rest of the Saxon people who once lived in the region begin a mass exodus to Ængland, and soon begin to out number the Gaels. Interloping between the Romans and Saxons begins as more and more blood mixing occurs.

455: Æthelweard, Rex Britannorum et Rex Caledonia passes away at the age of 67. His eldest son Cynebald (age 30) inherits his territory in Dumnonia and Norþhymbra. The electors assemble again in Londonium, and elect his son Cynebald to succeed him. Cynebald of Dumnonia is formally coronated in 456.

460: The erupting of warfare across the Roman frontier leads to a radical band of Gallic warriors attempting to draw Britannia into the fight against Rome. Britannia refuses, and the Gallic warriors leave without note.

461-475: The reign of Cynebald is a time of extensive peace and prosperity. Londonium becomes a hub of trade as the Roman Empire begins to collapse. In 474 AD, Cynebald and the elective lords formally vote to establish the Britannicum Imperium (British Empire), ruled from Londonium. Their control over the British Isles is now absolute.

September 476: The fall of Rome occurs. Cynebald is shocked at this revelation and prevents British involvement in the continent, he does not want to draw the ire of the Goths or Latins.

HISTORY OF THE BULGAR PEOPLES (warning: this is still very much a rough draft/work in progress, and all dates are fluid)

700s BCE: the Bulgars(Bulgar: Bolqaryin) emerge as a distinct Turkic people living in what is OTL Mongolia; they follow a unique religion focused around a warrior-trickster god(Ukhavcili) and a goddess of prosperity and fertility(Qerembolor).
500s BCE: the Bulgars are exiled for heresy by Bumin Illig Qhagan of the Gokturks. Led by Boyikhchan Khaliyesi, they begin to cross the steppes. Boyikhchan Khaliyesi declares himself Khagan(Haqaan) of the Bulgars, and decrees that further kings shall be elected by the Kurultai(Qurultayin), a collection of Bulgar warriors and nobles(which, in Bulgar society, are roughly the same). A caste system develops: on the top, the priests; in the middle, the warriors; on the bottom, everyone else. The bottom caste has three subcastes: merchants and artisans, farmers and laborers, and slaves and servants.
400s BCE: Under Qiravci Khoyorci Haqaan, the Bulgars finally reach what is OTL the Novorossiya region of Ukraine; they name it Bulgaria(Bolqaryca). The Bulgars also first appear in Roman writings, as the Bulgarii.
300s BCE: Deivasci Ihmalsev Haqaan begins Bulgar expansion. They take OTL Romania, Crimea, Ukraine, Abkhazia, southern Russia, and Bulgaria within the century; the Bulgars largely settle in these regions.
200s BCE: Khubret Lazdineriig Haqaan decides to create a new script for the Bulgars; he takes the Syriac abjad and makes it into an alphabet that works with Bulgar. He mandates that, from now on, the Bulgars use the script.
0s CE: The Bulgars, under Sherenlitai Tusgalduulsan Haqaan, encounter the Huns. An attempt in 91 to invade Bulgar territory fails drastically for the Huns, who instead opt for easier prey to the north. The Romans attempt to take Dacia and Moesia(both under Bulgar rule); the attempt is a humiliating failure.
100s CE: Qanichin Aldaasizluq Haqaan is assassinated by Evcelki Nertirhasi, another noble, the day after Qanichin's election to the title by the Qurultayin. Evcelki is elected Haqaan, and begins to initiate Bulgar raids on the aging Roman Empire. Philippopolis, Adrianople, and Naissus are all repeatedly subjected to attacks by the Bulgars.
300s CE: The Bulgars, under Kheylev Dhuroveti Haqaan, switch from raiding Rome to taking its land. Soon, the Bulgars have reached the Adriatic and Aegean Seas, devastating and humiliating Rome. All the blue-colored territory on this map is now under Bulgar control.
400s CE: The Huns return with a venegance, but Qalip Yagachni Haqaan repels Attila, forcing him to turn his attention on what remains of Rome. The Roman Empire collapses.

(point where this next RP begins- in between 400 and 500)

400s or 500s CE: The incompetent Serkhrike Becersegui Haqaan causes the empire to lose the light blue regions on this map. His two sons, Buyuukuglu Becersegui and Khuuchik Becersegui, kill their father and divide the empire into two sections. The Qurultayin does not decide who his successor is, the first time in history this is the case; Buyuukuglu Becersegui declares himself Haqaan of Western Bulgaria(Qerbatuun Bolqaryca, the dark blue on this map); Khuuchik Becersegui declares himself Haqaan of Eastern Bulgaria(Sherdoguun Bolqaryca, the gray-blue on this map). They vow that the Qurultayins of each country will pick their heirs, and that the two Bulgarias shall remain "united as brother nations".

Eastern Bulgaria will become more influenced by the Slavs as time passes; Western Bulgaria by the Greeks and Romanians.

HISTORY OF BHARATA (hopefully this is realistic enough, but it's also still a work in progress)

~33 CE: Isho ha-Nasrath, a poor carpenter from the Roman province of Judaea who is said to be the Messiah by his followers, is crucified by the Roman government of the province. According to Bharatan Christian tradition, he tells the Apostles of his impending death, and declares Shemayon Kepah to be his successor.
64 CE: Shemayon Kepah is crucified by the Roman Empire; according to Bharatan Christianity, he passes the leadership of the followers of the followers of Isho to Sha'ul ha-Tarsa. Sha'ul begins the process of separating the Jewish tradition and the tradition of the followers of Isho, who have now become the Christian church.
67 CE: Sha'ul ha-Tarsa is beheaded by the Roman Emperor Nero. According to Bharatan Christianity, he passes leadership of the church to Thoma Shliha, who has gone to preach Isho's teachings to the Dravidian and Aryan inhabitants of Bharata. He calls for an end to India's caste system, which earns him the ire of the Tamil princes who control the area.
72 CE: The Tamil rulers attempt a mass slaughter of Thoma Shliha and his followers; Thoma and the Bharatan Christians flee north to the principalities of Bengal. There, they successfully convert several princes, who swear allegiance to Thoma. Thoma begins using the Bengali transliteration of his name, Tamasa, instead of the original Aramaic.
74 CE: Led by the prince Kornoshushangko Mahimanbijeta(who adopts the Christian name Jana-Pabitrasnana Mahimanbijeta), the Bengali princes under Tamasa conquer the entirety of Bengal.
75 CE: On his deathbed, Tamasa declares Jana-Pabitrasnana to be his successor, and declares that it will be his blood which will purify India. Jana-Pabitrasnana destroys the caste system in Bengal, and orders the armies of Bengal south towards the Tamil states of Kerala and Tamizh. The Tamil states are conquered, with Bengal now controlling most of India's coast. Jana-Pabitrasnana now focuses on converting the population of the country to Christianity. He orders a set of Scriptures compiled, and increasingly serves both as secular and spiritual head of the country.
400s CE: Jana-Pabitrasnana III orders the expansion of Bengali rule across the subcontinent; he conquers mass swathes of land to the west, and forces several eastern kingdoms to Christianize. Shortly before the end of the campaigns, he is severely wounded and rendered mentally incapable of rule. His brother, Pitara Pala, becomes regent, and focuses on administration- the Christianization of the kingdom, crushing various revolts, ensuring loyalty from the tributary kingdoms, and establishing a nationwide system of government. After Jana-Pabitrasnana III's death, he rules in his own right.

INDIAN CULTURES IN THE 400s RP's ATL INDIA(BHARATA)

The dominant culture is OTL Bengali culture, which becomes something akin to Han Chinese culture in China.
Other cultures include Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
Cultures in the vassals include Thai, Cambodian, Lao, Hmong, Sumatran, and Malay.

Flag of Bharata

NOTES ON BHARATAN CHRISTIANITY

Because it's a Kingdom of Prester John, Bharatan Christianity(a unitarian branch of Christianity which says that Jesus Christ bestowed the title "head of the Christians" upon Saint Peter, who gave the title to Saint Paul, who gave it to Saint Thomas, who went to India and founded the Bharatan imperial dynasty) is the dominant religion- Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism in India are basically wiped out, as is Zunism in Afghanistan; Sikhism will never become a thing.

Despite attempts by Bharata to destroy other religions within its borders, Bharatan Christianity will adopt some of their elements. God will have three aspects: the Creator, Sustainer, and Destroyer(titles of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva respectively); the archangels will become associated with various figures- Michael with Sesha, Gabriel with Hanuman, Raphael with Ganesha, and Lucifer/Satan with Kali; references to "the Lamb of God" will be replaced with references to "the Bull of God"; Jesus Christ's teachings will include the Eightfold Path; Nirvana and Heaven will merge(though Hell will remain largely unchanged); and the Bharatan Bible will likely focus on the Gospels and Revelations(the Old Testament, aside from early Genesis and possibly Ezekiel, will be omitted; there may be a seperate book that OoCly draws from the Epistles, the Hadiths and the Book of Mormon, focusing on Christ's successors and India). Judas will also likely lose his role as a traitor.

Depends entirely on which one. France is completely out of the question. It needs someone to take care of it and nurse it back to health.

I was thinking more like Norway and its colonies before they get retconned totally out of question. If not its fine, I just thought it would be a country unimportant enough to not need total attention from.

Norway, Greenland, and Iceland all have plot lines and futures worked out.

The Valgovian Tragedy - coming soon to an IC thread near you.

A book by Alaric Bisser, released after the fascist coups in Switzerland and France, based loosely on William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar(and to a lesser extent Antony & Cleopatra) set in the fictional Valgovian Confederation(based primarily on Switzerland), intended to be a criticism of government policies that he perceived as autocratic in theory or practice(primarily communism, monarchism, and fascism).

MAJOR CAST:
Julian Kaiser: Chancellor of Valgovia and a former General of the Army, elected by the Senate after something of a coup against his predecessor, Chancellor Friedrich Maurer; very power-hungry but ultimately a republican.
Eva Kaiser: Julian Kaiser's wife, a very superstitious woman who fears for her husband's safety.
Augustus Kaiser: son of Julian Kaiser and General of the Army; looks to succeed his father as Chancellor. Belongs to the fascist block.
Antonio San Marco: A Senator who also looks to succeed Julian Kaiser, and a member of the communist block. Close friend to Augustus Kaiser.
Fiorenza San Marco: Antonio San Marco's wife, daughter of a businessman and a wealthy socialite.
Benedetto Valdosta: An older and very wealthy Senator who has not yet aligned with any block.
Claude Montcroix: A Senator and longtime friend of Julian Kaiser, and a member of the republican block. Many expect him to succeed Julian Kaiser.
Marie Montcroix: The wife of Claude Montcroix and a prominent suffragette leader who insists that Claude treat her as his equal.
Francois Delaplace: A Senator and longtime friend of Claude Montcroix. Convinced that Julian Kaiser is a threat to the country.
Wilhelm Leuthard: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators. Despises the fascists and communists both.
Gaius des Coteaux: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators.
Waldemar Achtenberg: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators.
Bruno Kahler: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators. His brother, Franz Kahler, was imprisoned for opposing Julian Kaiser's coup.
Francesco Episcopo: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators.
Durich Rumantsch: A Senator and one of Francois Delaplace's conspirators.
Lorenzo Sorrentino: A greatly respected older Senator, skilled as an orator, and a member of the republican faction who fears that the fascists and communists will destroy the country.
Louis Geneve: A Senator and member of the Republican faction.
Umberto Giampietrino: A Senator and member of the Republican faction.
Johann von Hochbruck: A Senator who supported Friedrich Maurer against Julian Kaiser.
Emil Chevalier: A Senator who supported Friedrich Maurer against Julian Kaiser.
Ernst Ludwigsohn: An army officer under Augustus Kaiser's command and a member of the fascist block.
Jean-Baptiste Lyonnaise: An army officer under Augustus Kaiser's command and a member of the fascist block.
Hermann Sachsenhof: A Senator and a member of the fascist block.
Vittorio Agile: A Senator and former army officer and a member of the communist block.
Henri Beauregard: A Senator and a member of the communist block.
Gaius Deschamps: A prominent pro-republican writer and poet whose name is dangerously similar to Gaius des Coteaux's.
Matthieu Saunier: Julian Kaiser's secretary and close friend. Very distrustful of the Senate.

PLOT:

(Coming soon)

Ripping off Shakespeare to write a political dissertation would probably draw the ire of lots of classical literature lovers and secure Bisser's place as "German Gaius leFevre".
