History

The Kingdom of Hannover was once a powerful Kingdom ruled over by the Kings of Hannover prior to the formation of Teutonia. This dynasty likely came to an end when the Kingdom fell to the growing Teutonian nation.
Prior to 1109 the Drow House Knell Sheddan occupied the city until they were routed by King Frederic Von Hapsburg. The city has been governed by the Hanoverian Trade Council ever since.
Hannover fell to the Pythons during their return in 1112, with Hannover under their wing they were able to utlise its ships in taking the island of Gibraltar. The city eventually fell back into the Trade Councils control following the defeat of the Pythons in 1114.
