Foreward
Greetings and salutations. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Owen Glyndwr, although you may call me Owen if you find the Welsh language a difficult one to wrap your tongue around. This is not my first AAR, and I certainly hope it will not be my last. My first one: The Aeduic War was a sort of test for myself to see if I had the resolve, and ability to do long narrative-like fictional stories. The AAR itself was a sort of cross section of my then ongoing campaign. It followed the story of The Kingdom of Casseia as she fought the Aeduic Kingdom for control of the Belgian territories, while still trying to re-assert her sense of identity in a Kingdom which had suddenly found itself encompassing many different peoples. I enjoyed writing it very much, and, although it was not exactly the most popular story on the fora, the people who did frequent it seemed to like it enough, and as long as I was happy, that was all that really mattered. Unfortunately tragedy struck a week or two ago when I had to relocate my hard drive to another computer, resulting in the hard drive being wiped, causing me to lose all my EB data.
Not in the least deterred, I decided that, while I did not want to re-do all my previous work, and play the Casse again, I did want to write another AAR, and after thinking about all of the factions, and looking at the distribution of AARs currently in circulation, I soon hit upon the idea to do a Lusitani AAR, and thus here we are.
Now on to the disclaimer, similar to the one from my previous AAR. I am not a military genius, and I most likely do not play the game at an efficiency met by other players. However, this game is not about skill, it is about the story. That said, I am playing difficulty M/M. In regards to criticism on a creative or writing level, I am open to this, as this is now only my third attempt at doing any sort of fictional writing, however I do ask that you make your criticism constructive. Note that any praise is equally greatly appreciated (perhaps more so).
Finally, while, as it says under my name, I do call myself a history buff, that does not mean that I am an expert on Pre-Latin Iberian history. While I will try my best to do research on the Lusitanii, and try as hard as I can to make the story as historically accurate (in regards to lifestyle, gov't, etc) as possible, ambiguities are going to exist, and I ask that you not nitpick them. I also will warn you now that I may take some artistic license in these regards as well, similar to how I did in my Casse AAR.
That said, on to the story, and I hope you all enjoy:
