Memories of Conflict
19)
I had hidden for many years but felt again the need to be out in the world. Things had changed in my isolation, our lands were now ruled by a forgien Emperor. I made some efforts to ingratiate myself to our new rulers in an attempt to not get dragged into conflict that might expose my nature, though bowing to invaders troubled me. I was introduced to the Icene lord Eoghann by my vasel Corigus Bruis. We struck up a friendship over the next year and he invited me to several feasts. It was at these feast I ment Publius Ostorius Scapula, whom mistook me for the lord of these lands, a fact that was later to prove benificail. It was not long after this that the Romans attempted to suppress the owning of weapons amoung the people of Briton and Eoghann turned rebel in disgust. He left much of his lands in my care for he new that Scapula thought well of me and feared he would retailiate against the common people of the land if he new they belonged to a rebel.

As the years moved on the Roman occupation strengthend and then slipped away. In the year 392ad the raids along the coast by barbarian picts had become near constant. The ever precent risk of sack lead me to reconsider staying in these lands and with some reluctance I chose to relocate south to more protected lands. Myself and my childe Raghnaid made our way to the city of Londinium. I was disapointed to so much of it fallen to disrepair as I had heard for years how mighty a city it was, still the villa arround it are prosperos and the people still plentifull enough that two newcommers passing it's streets would draw no comment nor attention. I am not sure how I feel about this growing christian religion.
