Germans

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History

The Germans have the power of the Forest.

In the far north of Europe dwell the Germanic peoples. Formerly hailing from the lands separated by the Ocean from northern Europe, the Germanic peoples have managed to find their way across the seas to reach the very fringes of northern Europe, where they have now made themselves masters of the Baltic coasts and their fabled sources of amber.
