This is a sequel to my (fairly) long running AAR Spite of Severus.
It is still the same campaign being described herein, but my narrative has now ascended to the impersonal and god-like realm of the 3rd Person.
Things have become more complicated than they were in those innocent early days when Severus made his vow to take revenge on the Romano-British aristocracy. Greater Pictavia (as Britannia and Hibernia are now known) is preparing itself to join in the great game of warring nations on the mainland of Europa.
I shall in due course describe some of the triumphs and tragedies of European History according to IBFD v7.03 so that when the Picts burst onto the scene, their part in the great drama will have some meaning and you will be able to decide which side (if any) you are rooting for.
