Update 1:
Birth of Britain: Spring 1100 AD
In the spring-time, seed is sown. In the summer, grass is mown.
Many Lords have ruled their lands for generations, and many are new at the reigns.
Munster
To the west, in the region of Munster, the Mac Nessa clan rules from Kerrigan Castle, high above the city of Cork. They have long held peace with their neighbors in Kerry, Waterford and Clare, but nothing lasts forever.
Connaught
In the region of Connaught, to the north, lies the Galway family; ancient founders of the town of the same name. Their seat of power is at Galway Manor, in the plateau overlooking the city below. Their neighbors in the north and west rule the counties of Westgalway, Mayo and Leitrin.
Wessex
East, across the sea in Wessex, the Montemorency family has ruled for generations, from their ancestral home in Castle Rogue, miles from Dorchester. Although Dorset itself is primarily Norman by this point, they are the lone Norman nobles in Wessex. Their relationship with their neighbors in Cornwall, Somertset and Hampshire have not suffered from this fact, however.
Northumbria
Far to the north, in Northumbria, lies the Anglish stronghold of Castle York, in a region ruled by Saxons. Their name is known far and wide in the region, however, and in recent history no one has challenged their rule of the city that bears their name.
Alba
In the northern fringes of the world, beyond even the derelict Antonine wall, lies the MacKirk family, lords of the High lands. Their family's history spans the entirety of the Great Glen and the northern coast, however their direct influence is only over several local clans. Clan MacKirk is the uncontested ruler of the town of Inverness, the largest in the region.
