Before the dawn of written history, horsemen from the steppes of Russia swept across the European continent. They formed a people we now call Celts in Germany’s Hartz Mountain Region. Following their conversion by Druid priests from the British Isles, the Celts overran a swath of Europe stretching from the British Isles southeast to Turkey, which they ruled for a thousand years. In addition to bringing horses and iron to the continent, the Celts invented steel, chain mail, a yoke for the horse, the spoke wheel with its iron tire, and the iron plow. An invention which enabled European nomads to settle in communities. Many of Europe’s principal cities were originally Celtic settlements, including London, Paris, Milan, and Budapest. The Celts are truly the Founders of Europe.
In 387 BC, the Celts defeated the Roman Army and invaded the eternal city. This epic battle dramatically changed the course of history.
This is their story.
It begins with a dispute between Druids for leadership of Switzerland’s Helvetii Tribe, during which Master Druid Munli engages Conel, the leader of the Mayri Clan and his brother-in-law Ragenos to kill Munli’s rival if he endangers Munli. This deed is carried out, forcing Ragenos to become a wandering mercenary. Triplets named Miklos, Hughlos and Unalos are born to Conel and Meva.
Fearing the Romans, Conel has Julia enslaved to teach him about her people in return for her freedom. Upon returning her to Rome, Conel is enslaved by Lucius. Ragenos returns with a Parisii bard and leads a massive Celtic army across the Alps to free Conel. This epic battle between the Celts and the Romans marks the beginning of Western Europe’s written history.
