Hello. I would like to know if there could be some interest for a RP campaign set in a faux-medieval British Archipelago, a land where might makes right, pagan and christian beliefs fight and merge with each other, and where the word "invader" means "a more recent invader than us".
The kingdoms of the Celts, an ancient people who inhabited the islands since time immemorial, have been reduced to a fraction of their former power by the invasions of the Anglo-Saxon, a proud people from beyond the sea. The Seaxe conquered most of the area now known as Englaland, leaving only Cymru, Éire, and the northern kingdoms of Rheged, Alba and Fortriu to the Celtae. However, an even more fearsome people has descended upon Britannia: the Norse, sailing the northern sea on their dreaded longships, have come to pillage, loot, and settle the islands. Striking both Saxons and Celts, they carved their own vast domains in eastern Englaland, northern Ireland and the northern isles of Suðreyjar and Orkneyjar. Meanwhile, all that remains of the glorious Roman past of the island are the two small, bickering kingdoms of Cornovia and Dumnonia, in the far southwest. The isles are set ablaze by war, and the rivers run red with blood.
Still, rumor has it that yet another invasion is being prepared...
The players can play as any sort of character they'd like to (combat-oriented, of course). The characters' ethnical background (Celt, Saxon, Norse, or Roman) and religion (there will be some religions to choose from, some available to all characters, some only to those of a certain ethnicity) will both play a significant role in the plot.
If anybody is interested, I will gladly post the map I prepared of the RP's world, and more detailed descriptions of its peoples, religions, and kingdoms.
(disclaimer: this setting is VERY heavily inspired by the Crusader Kings 2 Lux Invicta alternate history mod, which you should check out if you own the game)
