SUMMARY OF GOTHICA'S ORIGIN
Although the Greater Gothic Empire was proclaimed on 22nd May 666.M6, most of its history traces back to the early settlements that had emerged so many years after a nuclear outbreak in 020.M2. Great Oium (analogous to both ancient-era Chernyakhov culture and Kievan Rus), was one among the petty states to rise and, for a brief time, unified the warring Gothic kingdoms under High King Filimer II, long after semi-mythical Queen Basina (not to be confused with the historical Basina of Thuringia) planted the Raven's Banner from faraway north after arriving in what was once Kaliningrad, then an arid wasteland now insignificant port city. Basina, like the ancient historical figure Emperor Jimmu of Japan, became the progenitor of a long line of rulers from High Kings/Queens of Oium to Gothic Emperors/Empresses, of which Filimer was her descendant.
