England is burning... The remaining kingdoms of the Old Saxon Heptarchy tremble at the might of the Sons of Lodbrok and their heathen armies.
As the Hammer falls on Northumbria and East Anglia, a fleet of fifteen battered ships laden with Saxon refugees sails down the River Rhine, searching for a new place to call home...

Its been a while since my previous AAR failed and i've had this one planned for about four months now. The premise of Saxon Dogs is that a group of Saxons flee from the Great Heathen Army attacking East Anglia and flee to the realms of the Karlings to find a new home among the Frankish kingdoms. Here they have a chance to rebuild and regrow in power as a safe haven for the Saxons. Their future remains open to the turning of the fates. Will they fade from history as the world moves on unconcerned for the plight of Britannia? Or will they stand the test of time and possibly give rise to powers far far greater than they could possibly imagine? Only time (and my suffering laptop) will tell.
As it was before, throughout the Megacampaign I will be playing these games:
Crusader Kings II: 867 - 1444
Europa Universalis IV: 1444 - 1820
Victoria II: 1820 - 1936
Hearts of Iron III: 1936 - 1948
For at least the CKII portion of the Megacampaign, it will be written in the style of a journal kept by the current character. Afterwards for EUIV i'm not entirely sure if i'll keep using that writing style, i'll have to see how it goes. But anyway, the prologue should be up within a couple hours and the first part a few days after that. I hope that you'll enjoy it.
P.S: I apologise if the prologue has some weak writing in it, for some reason it was really difficult to actually get the story moving in a decent way. Later chapters will improve in quality.
