No, I absolutly promise I am not abandoning Smashing the Giant. I am merely putting it on hold, because I am sick of writing multiple perspective AARs. Hopefully, I will do it well for my first time writing in this style.

Hello. I am George Haliburton, a Scot of a noble family that lost its titles along with the invasion of William the Conqueror. I have always felt a need to regain our honor, our lands, and our Earldom. It was not a sheltered life that I had up until now, no. I have been backstabbed, betrayed, and been overruled too many times in my life to take anything for granted. Fortunately, my father was not idle in our family quest, either.
He had managed to make his way up to the Second in Command to the Chief Advisor. I inherited this position, and in late 1616, when the Chief Advisor died without an heir, I became the Chief Advisor, in theory only second to the king, but in practice wielding most of the powers.
I knew that this was a great title to hold, indeed. I was determined to command respect from not only my comrades, but the other sovereigns of Europe that looked down upon our nation with contempt now. I knew one way to get that respect. Brushing off my domestic subordinates (who whined that my actions would make the people unhappy), I declared our vassalage to England void and null.
Now Scotland was free in the world, but for how long?
This is the story of my life’s work of creating the rebirth of a nation, the nation of Scotland.
