The Emerald Isle
A Retelling of the History of the Emerald Isle
1180: Here in the remotest part of Europa... A group of gentlemen met... How quickly the world had forgotten who had kept the knowledge of the ancients alive through the darkest days that humanity had ever seen... It was the ancestors of these men that had nurtured the light of Christianity when the pagan hoards had done their best to snuff it out. And here they still lived on their Emerald Isle.
They laughed at death.... For the word of their savior was not just a means to power like so many of the warlords of Europa... It was their path to happiness and salvation in this life and the next. The Normans had raised the papal banner above their armies as they raped and pillaged their way across most of Britain. But their leader William had died a horrible death in France, deserted by his closest confidants in the end, his valuables stripped from his bloated body by his servants. Such was the judgement of the lord. Now these godless men were knocking on the door of the Irish and their cousins in Wales and Scotland.....Only united would the Gaelics have a chance to survive. They had beaten The Norman's Viking ancestors back... They could beat the Normans back as well.
