Good day and welcome to my second ever attempted aar. My first was trashed after a single update by corrupt files, but those are problems of the past and I am ready to present you with what I think will be an interesting and unique experience.
First off, the start date will be 1107, as I have already played the game for 40 years. I started as the Duchy of Toulouse, ruling the southeastern corner of the French Kingdom. My first update, hopefully later tonight if Photobucket cooperates, will be a lightning quick round leading up to my forming the Kingdom of Aquitania of July 26th of 1107. This kingdom is one of the many included in Jordarkelf's excellent DVIP More Kingdoms addon. It covers most of what was southern France with one overseas province, the fruit of a successful Crusade.
My goals in the short term include consolidating my rule, securing an ally and figuring out a potentially deadly succession crisis. All will be revealed soon, so stay tuned!
