The Reich

Francia, 795 A.D.

The Frank Reich embraces all territories from the Rhine and English Channel in the north to the Mediterranean in the South, encompassing the whole of the former Roman province of Gaul. Of the so-called "barbarian kingdoms" that emerged from the wreckage of the Roman collapse in the West, the Frank Reich has emerged as the most powerful. It's cities exceed those of the English, the Saxons, and Moravians, its merchants trade as far afield as Egypt and Thule , while its armies are a vast and fell multitude that few should dare contest in the field. For the heirs of Clovis know their worth and their place, and they do not suffer a slight to go unchallenged. With wisdom and grace, with justice and compassion, may their rule last unbroken, from father to son, until the Second Coming, when our Savior shall judge the quick and the dead. The Frankish Reich also embraces the Arianist creed of Christianity, eschewing the Latin obfuscations of Catholic and Donatist Christianity.
