Introduction:
The Greeks had always looked eastward and, squabbling over tiny shreds of land, they nearly forgot about the many tribes that inhabited the lands to the north of Hellas. Over the centuries those lands had been a gateway into ‘civilized’ Europe for the nomadic tribes that came from the east. A mighty mountain chain rose from these lands, meaning the abrupt end of the steppes and plains of ancient Russia. With every new tribe that came new ‘kingdoms’ were created. Only rarely would a previous rulers be able to fend off the newcomers.
But not all danger came from the steppes. It was only a short while ago since part the mighty Keltoi from Gaul had migrated eastward. There enormous force being nearly unstoppable, crushing most of the towns and strongholds of the regions. Harvests were taken and all those who resisted were put to the sword. But the survivors of the tiny kingdoms that had tried to make a stand were in the slow process of regaining their former power.
A few of those tribes, mainly those of the peoples called the Ordes and the Kostobok, now banded together and formed the small kingdom of the Getai. The future of this tiny country was still uncertain, but one thing was clear, the only way to avoid destruction was to be found in unity.

As you can see the House Rules are nearly the same as in my previous AAR, which sadly ended due to technical errors. I know, it's quite a short introduction and no, I'm not a great writer. Let's hope this one outlasts my previous ones.
