Welcome to the kingdom of East Anglia

From the fen, we inspire. From the stars, we shine.

In the eastern lands, where silver mists rise from the marshes and ancient trees whisper forgotten names, lies the Kingdom of East Anglia — a realm of dreamers, artists, and deep-rooted power.

Born from the uniting of two tribes, the North Folk and the South Folk, the House of East Anglia was founded by the wise and noble King Rædwald, a warrior king who walked both the old paths and the new. Legend tells that Rædwald wore a helmet kissed by the gods, forged from starlight and iron. Some say it still rests, waiting in a buried ship among treasure so enchanted, not even time dares disturb it.

East Anglia was a land of contrast. Wide skies and shadowed woods, calm seas and silent fens. Its people lived close to the land, guided by the stars and stories older than kingdoms. They were master craftsmen like no one had ever seen before. Many believed the rivers of East Anglia could speak to those who listened closely, and the marshes hid guardians who were tall, antlered spirits who watched over the wild.
It was said that those who earned their favour would never be lost, even in the thickest fog.

Though often caught between greater powers, East Anglia endured. Its strength came not from size, but from soul. They were people of honour and quiet pride, who stood firm when others fled and held fast to their ways through storms of steel and sorrow.

Today, the spirit of East Anglia still flickers in those who love the land, protect the forgotten, and never give up………….even when the path is hidden and the night is long
