Introduction: Eurasia, December 1921 CE

"Fallen giants seldom pass on quietly, for even as they die, there are always pretenders seeking to take their place in the sun.

"A new social movement, Communism, has inspired Russian radicals called Bolsheviks to seize control of their destinies from the remnants of Russia's shattered empire - even as some of these remnants fight a desperate war of independence, not just against the Bolsheviks and their enemies, the White movement, but also against a resurgent Germany eager to maintain her control on eastern Europe. This struggle for survival and greatness is mirrored in the Black Sea, where a nascent Turkish republic struggles with Greece for control of the Bosporus, even as it probes further north, seeking to extend its influence back into lands the Ottomans lost to the Russians generations ago.  

"Asia fares no better - while seemingly victorious in the Great War, the fledgling Chinese republic is sundered once more into several warring cliques, to whom democratic authority is a matter of usurping votes, and whose means of settling political disputes involves opium sales and force of arms against their brothers. This has attracted the attention of unwelcome outsiders - the Bolsheviks seek to subvert China to gain more resources and allies to complete the reunification and reconquest of the Rodina, while an embittered Japanese empire broods on with plots to eject both Communism and Western imperialism out of Asia, which has now founded uncertain toeholds in Indochina and coastal cities in China itself.

"Together, the wake of these fallen giants - the Russian Empire, and the Qing dynasty - has grim consequences for peace in the Old World. It's been three years since the greatest war the world has ever seen came to a bitter close, yet the world is no less safer than it was back in that fateful summer more than seven years ago. Regardless, an era of NEW WORLD EMPIRES is about to visit the chapters of man's history - but at what cost to our own humanity?"

Preface & historical background of this mod

The Northern Ravens is the third chapter in the Rise of Kings series of mods, and focuses on the Viking Age in the Western world: a period of time which changed the known world and thus shaped our world today. 

Our starting point, enter 865ce: Ragnar Lothbrok, King of Denmark and hero to the Nordic peoples, had been brutally murdered years prior.
The time has come for retribution: The sons of Ragnar have amounted an army so large, it is now referred to as the "Great Heathen Army". (WIP OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION)

- There exists two focus areas, for beginning of this modification which reflect the current situation throughout the western world:
"The Heirs of Charlemagne" and "Wrath of the Northmen".
- The Norse factions are at their peak. Denmark, especially is a very powerful faction. Very few can rival their strength - the Franks (Holy Roman Empire) bickering between each other (in reality, separated into three splinter states) are in a state of disarray and the Carolingian dynasty is crumbling. While the Danish "Great Heathen Army" is pillaging England, the Danes have no trouble raiding Francia as well.
- The Frisians, Saxons, and Normandie are also fighting for independence from the Franks, and to the east the Magyars constantly raid them... The Heirs of Charlemagne have a fight against them as the Wrath of the Northmen spreads worldwide.
- - The Irish kingdoms fight amongst themselves as Ivarr the Boneless, son of Ragnar Lothbrok takes his throne as "High King Imar" of the Uí-Imair Dynasty while also spreading across western Alba and the Northern and Southern Isles, cementing an empire whilst his kin conquer Britannia.
- In the east, the Varangian Vikings actively absorb every Slavic tribe surrounding their Principality of Kiev. Though powerful the Rus' are surrounded by equally strong enemies: the Khazar Khaganate and the surviving Roman Empire.
Who will come out victorious, as the Northern Ravens spread their wings across the land?

As The Northern Ravens project is historically themed, it resembles some of its sister-chapters whilst differing with them in many areas.

It's a continuation of Rise of Kings.

  • Start date: 850-1030
