Book Description
Taking place in the Brebon Isles off the northern coast of Aerbon during the First Era, "The Chronicles of Bree I" tells the tale of Rome's invasion of Bree. With the Roman economy suffering in light of the Roman-Itanian War of 1E25-30 and the Second Sumatran War (1E21-32), the Roman-based Merchant's Guild sent an expedition across the Aerbonean Ocean in their efforts to circumvent the neighbouring Kingdom of Svaneiol. This was predominantly due to the fact that they found their northern convoys plagued by the bandits and thieves that were prevalent in the poorer kingdom where it was situated in the mountainous woodlands between Rome and Legion. Following their ensuing discovery of the Brebon Isles, the reigning emperor launched a military campaign to bring the islands under the rule of the Roman Empire. The Breelanders were a primitive and tribal people, though their main advantage laid in the wars that had ravaged Rome's mighty empire. As a result, both sides found themselves pitted against one another in a long and bloody war where the Breelanders tenaciously fought to maintain their independence whilst Rome's forces fought to strengthen their influence in the lands of Aerbon and restore their economy in light of their campaigns against Itania and Sumatra.
