Justice for the Tormented, Torment for the Unjust
The Chronicle of the once rightous and fair rulers and conquerers from the House of Maradan

"House of Maradan, or 'af' Maradan, as my coleagues will correct me, is possibly the most intricate dynasty known to Europe, if not the world. They are more recorded then the Karlings, Piasts or Makedons of their times, as their rulers had a habit of writing down everything. When I say everything, I mean everything. A runestone found in Wales, dating back to the 9th century tells the tale of young Hjálmar Dorinsson and his quest to find a friend - another one, this time a runestone found in Shetlands reads about Dorin Dorinsson and his lost pair of shoes. Their eccentricity and how the weirdest footnotes their scribes wrote about covered the fact, that it was one of the most succesful and fair dynasties of the medieval times. But even then, black sheeps appear, and af Maradan has lots of them. Let me tell you now of Freydís Dorinsdottir, first Queen of Wales, and her unjust rule which brought her torment..."

Hello, and welcome to my first post on this forum - and my first AAR. In short, I have never done such a thing, and my campaigns were always short dured - the most I have played in one campaign is I believe 80-120 years in game, and at the point of writing this I have nearly 400 hours in CK3. You can see how unpatient I am. Creating something like this would, in my sound mind, surely force me to at least attempt to play to the endgame, without giving up or being bored because I am not painting the map the one specific colour.
More focused on the story then on the gameplay, I will try to amuse you as much as I will bore you with missing shoes, missing friends and brother-killing witches. I hope you enjoy.

Welcome to AAR writing!
 
Welcome to AARland! Just a headsup, the first days/posts you are on the forums, there are limitations to pictures and links etc. :)
 
This sounds amusing. I'll follow. Welcome to AARland! I hope you like it here!
 
I have noticed - spent good half an hour adding pictures and formatting to the first post only not to be allowed to post it :x
Once, I was going to do an adoptionism AAR, but the forum would not let me link to a forum discussion that said how to trigger it.
