History
The Beginnings of a nation.... Around two thousand years ago a small tribe of strong warriors migrated North from the Island of Hypernostria. Their name was the L'Inghilterra Novum later known as the Nova English peoples. After whats now thought to be around 40 to 100 years they managed to reach a large bay containing various resources fit for the Nomadic Huntsman. So the main tribe built the town of West Grinstead which was by the sea and the largest river, then smaller settlements were created around the outskirts. But still no one would travel to far in to the mountains and highlands in case the Tribe of East Moorlanders would attack them. However 500 years later and new chief was born.......
King John the Saviour- 500BC The Kingdom of L'Inghilterra Novum started when a young man named John I of the Ashbee clan decided to unite the various clans and tribes of the Taylor Bay. He started his long journey when his father was murdered by Rebels whom forced John to flee to the Warring Islands. However the rebels had not stopped him becoming chief of the Novum England Tribe. In the Warring Islands he had taken 50 loyal soldiers with him and like he expected the first people he met were barbarians. However after his small force held off 200 barbarians another army appeared from the top of the pass that the battle had been fought in. These people were the more civilized Tribes of Hempton Bay, they offered the exiled king to stay as long as he commanded the city's army. King John agreed and fought some 25 battles across the Islands. Until 10 years since his exile he had gained a force large enough to take back West Grinstead and his large army came across the sea and fought their way to West Grinstead.
This campaign was later known as the 'Rinascita del re' (Rebirth of the king). After a two year war King John was back in power for the first time and he decided that if his people were to be strong they must unite and so he set off on a journey to unite the various tribes and clans of the Taylor Bay. The first of City he came across was home to the people of the Barret clan whom welcomed this idea of unity. However some people did not always accept this so wars such as the battle of East Moorland came but then they died down. After 20 long years John I decided to convert the united tribes into a kingdom. Nearly all of the clans accepted however some of them fought against the idea. But with the new king being a clever man he set up the Witan which acted as a parliament and still does today. However in those days it mainly consisted of all the clan chiefs and they would all vote for a "Witan chief" where as we now vote for a prime minister. King John in the end died of what we think to have been cancer but he was given a heroes funeral and his name is remembered for hundreds of years as well as the ideas of his Legionaries and the various military ideas he gave his children and his people. His remains now reside in the great statue of him at the castle of West Grinstead guarded by legionaries of the Holy Lance.
