This is my first AAR, and is just really pratice for one I have in my head with epic designs. The basics you need to know; Latest Public Beta, I edited character stats, and cheated by giving my provinces some advances illegly. Please critque and criticise as you see fit.
~Introduction~
One bastard child born in Scotland who would change the face of the known world forever – this was Corneilius von Weimar. Corneilius was born the son of a simple German envoy from Brandenburg, Corneilius’s mother, on the contrary, was what makes his story the beginning of an epic.
The Scottish Queen, Aelflaed Siward, in the later years of her life, was dearly attracted to this German envoy, Eberhard von Weimar. There was an affair, and the next thing Eberhard knew he was being sent back to Brandenburg with his child, the young Corneilius.
Aelflaed died shortly after the birth, and no one knew about the baby except for her, select servants, and most importantly, her son, the future king of Scotland, Malcom Dunkeld. All was quiet in Scotland - that was until Malcom inherited the crown.
Not to jump ahead, one must mention the rough life Corneilius lived in Germany. His father had violent mood swings and would often displace his anger on the young boy. These beatings and harsh words took their affect on Corneilius, he became cruel, cold, callous, but swore to never act arbitrarily like his father had. However his father, when kind and sober did inform him of his true nature as “nearly” Scottish nobility. It was then the dream was born.
Corneilius would take out his frustrations on this cruel world, and if possible he would start with the Scotland. After a brief stint as a young squire, Corneilius was given his chance. Malcom Dunkeld, now the king of Scotland decided he needed a count for the backwater province of Angus. Having remembered his half-brother, Malcom summoned the boy to his court, for he was going to give him the title “Count of Angus”. Malcom figured a family member, even a half-member, was one of his safer choices. How wrong he was.
