Convocation coming later this year
As the 8th century comes to a close, Castle Teadorica has enjoyed prosperity for three centuries, a stronghold of wealth, tradition, and political influence. Bound by covenant—the seven women of the 8th ascension of Teadorica with well chosen husbands dominate key trade routes stretching from Britannia to Venice and Constantinople. But as the new century unfolds, their sovereignty is tested on every front.
To the south, Charlemagne’s empire grows, marrying Church and state into a powerful force that threatens to absorb independent powers like Teadorica. To the north, Viking incursions intensify, shifting from raiding to full conquest. And within, centuries of prosperity and privilege have fostered complacency as suitable husbands grow harder to find.
When a Viking blockade traps Castle Teadorica in its fjord, the house rallies behind its ancient defenses—flame, steel, and unrelenting resolve. But the question remains: Can tradition hold against the tides of empire and war?
Amid prophecy, politics, and blood, this episode sets the stage for the growing influence of Christian culture in western civilization.. Teadorica has always adapted. What will that look like as the century unfolds?
