The Year is 1827
The Year of the great Isle´ish Revolution.
In pre-19th Century History the area of the world simply known as "The Isles" by among its inhabitants was of absolutely no relevance. While it claimed to be "Unified", it practically was only in name. The person styled "King of the Isles and Northern Floates" was usually just the most powerful among a series of local Warlords and Nobleman, and usually his death resulted in a Civil War (Or a Civil War resulted in his death).
In 1827 this changed. King Edward IV of House Essex was dead at the hand of one of his most beloved generals: Sir Horatio Mercator, born a commoner, and worked his way up in the military. He already tried to revolt once, but nobody, at least the King, expected him to attempt this atrocity again. But know he was dead, and the Royal Palace on Middlesex laid in ruins. The Glorious Revolution had started and the Isle´ish Lords picked their sides.
Edwards wife, Queen Anne, had managed to flee the Isle of Middlesex just in time to escape the certain death that she would have faced if Horatio captured her. Anne had been a tributary to the King, he had taken her as wife after winning his own Civil War. Now, she saw her moment to seize power. The Jarls of Wessex, Moray and Lothia aswell as the so-called "Pirate King" of Man and Atholl had pledged their support to her, though her forces are spread far.
North of her new residence on the Isle of Essex, three less powerful Jarls have combined their forces to take the crown: James of Warwick, Arthur of Gloucester and Andrew of Kent might not trust each other, but these "Northern Brothers" now pose a serious threat to anyone that might oppose them.
Among the other Jarl´s, the decisions aren´t quite as clear. Most of the Jarl´s in the South have declared that they will stay neutral until one power wins a decisive victory. Some have decided to take the crown for themselves though, including Oliver of Ulster, Patrick of Munster and Alexander of Albany, how is trying to stay up to his namesake´s fame.
Which fate will be that of the Isles ? And which one are you going to support ?
