To this melting pot of a nation came the Romans under Julius Caesar. In the lands of the Dumnonii Tribe, now known as Cornwall in the south west of Britannia. Elaeth built his roundhouse on top of a hill close to the northwest coast. This is the story of Elaeth, his family and friends and their struggle to build a safe settlement amidst the turmoil. Trading first with neighbours and then, more adventurously, traveling by mule cart to nearby harbours they trade with great ships from northern Europe, Hispaniola and east of The Pillars Of Hercules. Their wealth and the size of the settlement at Elaeths Hill grows until they are able to purchase their own Great Ship, and set sail to trade with the known world of the Romans, Egyptians, North Africans and the Orient Not without cost and in constant need of defending themselves, they make many friends, some of who join them and year-by-year they build a haven in Albion that constantly grows in wealth and influence. As the Celtic tribes warred both with each other and the invading Romans, Vikings, Saxons, Danes and Normans a nation is formed, a nation of flint, bronze, iron and steel, a nation that went on to rule a third of the world's land surface and most of its oceans. This is the story of Elaeth, his friends and their descendants and the part they took in the forming of that nation and within it, a worldwide trading Empire. This is the story of Albion’s Children.
