History of Gotneska

The History of Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there—the Geats—as early as 500 AD. These early documents include the writings of ?? and ??. With the Christianization of the Geats c. 660's AD, it is clear that there existed a kingship. Queen Sarah II can trace her lineage back to the Viking kings ?? and ?? from this time, thus making the Monarchy of Gotneska one of the oldest in Thrismari. The area now known as Gotneska has a rich prehistory, having been populated by several prehistoric cultures and people for about 8,000 years, since the end of the last ice age.

One side would be know as the Pro-Act or more widely known as the Pro-Krenyan Support aka Loyalties, and the Anti-Act or Independents which by the end of the Great War, would be known as the Gotneskan Revolutionary Forces, short name the GRF.
