Kingdom of Dardann

Kingdom Map

Map of the Kingdom of Dardann

A small kingdom consisting of a few cities united under the banner of the capital, a city called Castelkansard. The first kingdom was established in 40 AD when, in a small city called Lindenfeld, the migrating Hun nobles of the region decided to separate from their tribal chiefs and found a new city.

To do this, they invaded and conquered the city of Lindenfeld, killing all its citizens.

After a small meeting of the nobles, where the First Senate was established, they decided to model themselves after the late Roman Republic. Even so, the Huns kept some differences to remain culturally distinct, such as the existence of a King or at times an Emperor, who could possess more or less power according to the law.

And in these differences they defined their mentalities, problems, and cultural solutions.

With this meeting, the First Senate also established the People's Tribunals, the Religious Tribunals, and the Family Courts, which would be the noble families who wished not to interfere in politics, religion, or bureaucracies. The Tribunes/Judges of the People defined the candidacies for the senate and could suggest changes and laws to the senate, though of course they were often not well regarded since they were from the lower classes.

In the beginning, the kingdom was small and weak, and the enemies of the kingdom tried from time to time to conquer the lands of Dardann. It was when they summoned a Roman deserter named Gaius Severus Cassius, who had the desire to rise in life and become a great leader, that the kingdom's problems began to disappear. In 42 AD, all citizens heard the trumpets of war, on one side the Roman mercenaries who would be paid with glory and citizenship, on the other side the free kingdoms of Marsannalos, Maschkarda, and Kristovia.

Rise of the Severa-Cassia Dynasty

The Romans, as a form of payment and gratitude from the Dardannians, were graced with citizenship and lands for the soldiers, and citizenship, political offices, and lands for the generals. However, the one who would fare best in this highly promising agreement would be Gaius Severus Cassius himself, who received a dynasty of kings for his family.

Thus, the newly appointed Lucius Severus Cassius, an intelligent 17-year-old, son of Gaius Severus Cassius and a woman who was never identified but had Hunnic origins, probably of high class, probably born in Lindenfeld and a resident of the new capital of the kingdom, the city of Castelkansard, declared the First Senate as the strong hand of the Kingdom.

The Empire of Dardann has not fallen!

"Wherever the citizens, inhabitants of this old house, may be, in that place shall be the Empire and the Emperor!" - Leonedes Spinikos Deuterinikis

Sometimes falling does not necessarily mean not rising again! Today, June 5th, we celebrate the new era of the Dardannese. An era that can be dangerous and frightening, but we remain faithful to our people and our empire, which was once great, and will be again. We have organized the people of Dardann into support groups worldwide—a resistance, perhaps. We invite you to join us.
