After long 6-8 levels in the last expedition of Germania, you move to a new land. Galerius Senecianus Diary DCXCIX a.u.c. We've finally found a suitable landing point! The journey through the night was difficult and I have not experienced such an uncomfortable climate in all my travels in the empire. Whilst sailing we have already been greeted with spears flung from the coastline. The local tribes, as it appears, will not be giving up without any resistance. Hopefully our large war barges will provide us with some covering fire as we land...

Britannia expeditions are the newest addition to the game targeting the high level characters at level 120+. For long they haven't had a real challenge in game and this new country has exactly this purpose. The country came with the 3.0.3 on 17/08/17 at 15:00 worldwide. Currently the downside is that there aren't any new dungeons so essentially the people running Britannia do not go into any dungeons.

Flavius Eunapius` Diary DCCCIV a.u.c We have been in Britannia just about 10 years now, even though my wife first refused to come. In the meantime we have it pretty good here. We can call a nice estate with servants aplenty our own and for the most part, our lives are much better here than they were in Italy. Just... it is almost impossible to stop complaining about the weather... Despite all this luxury, I have decided to head back into battle as an Officer. As Camulodunum fell after 16 days, the leader of the resistance was once again able to flee and since then has become somewhat of an icon in the resistance against us Romans. Now our spies have been able to locate him in Cambria, the kingdom of the Silures. I see it as my duty to stand against them in battle, as a duty to my fallen comrades, to finally bring this man to justice...

Galerius Senecianus Diary DCXCIX a.u.c. We managed to put the moor behind us. My shoes and those of my companions are soaked to the core from sinking in the quagmire. Our commander Gaius Trebonius... not so much. To be quite honest, there is something about him that seems off to me. Caesar gave him the order to press forward into Cassivellaunus` camp, which is protected by both a wall and a ditch. Cassivellaunus also realised his inferiority in open battle and has released the majority of his armies. All that remain are his agile chariot riders and a few mercenaries who lie in wait and then ambush us...

Flavius Eunapius` Diary DCCXCVI a.u.c The battles were hard, the leader Caratacus was able to flee, but we triumphed! I have seldom seen such self-sacrificing opponents. One of them even stood to fall by the sides of his men in battle. It is a true leader that dies by the sides of the men he leads. Not like ours, Aulus Plautius. Because of his ineptitude, Emperor Claudius has deemed it necessary to travel to Britannia himself. He is bringing the urgently needed reinforcements as well as his infamous war elephants...

Galerius Senecianus` Diary DCXCIX a.u.c. After the initial skirmishes, these barbaric Britons withdrew to the forest. Caesar pursued them with the intent of running them down and setting up an inland camp. To be honest, I am a little concerned. I heard things on the route here of mystical beings that are roaming and rampaging in the local woods. I pray that these are merely tales to frighten the young... and us Romans.

Galerius Senecianus` Diary DCXCIX a.u.c. The camp fell, Cassivellaunus fled! He however managed to send a message to the Kings of Kent, to mobilise them against us. They intend to attack our camp on the coast, hoping to make us retreat. They know the land and its intricacies much better than we do, but if we plan on staying here long term, we have to defeat them...

Flavius Eunapius` Diary DCCCX a.u.c I feel my time drawing to a close. My children have followed my invitation and now accompany me through my final days. Looking back over my life, I made the right choice in lingering in Britannia. In my final battle I personally captured Caratacus and dispatched him to Rome, where Emperor Nero then princely rewarded us. My oldest son strove to follow my lead after some time and has already managed to attain a high standing within the military. Now he has the task of taking care of the final point of retreat for the Druids Mona Isle. Even when I think highly of his ability, the power of the Druids makes me worry...

Flavius Eunapius` Diary DCCXCVI a.u.c, Britannia... what did I do to deserve this. A long way from my wife, child and my beloved Rome. Slowly, memories of the stories my grandfather told me come to the fore of my mind, his grandfather assisted Julius Caesar in the subjugation of this barbaric people! And today? After the retreat and the initiation of kings approved by Rome, these barbarians returned to their uncivilised lives... until one of them came and implored help from Emperor Claudius. The local troops were being led by two brothers, who had barricaded themselves up in northern Camulodunum. We were able to emerge victorious from the initial skirmishes after our landing. Now on our way north, we need to cross this river...

Galerius Senecianus Diary DCXCIX a.u.c. We were able to subdue the domestic tribes with ease. As an offering of peace, each of them presented us with hostages, who then revealed the leader of the resistance. He goes by the name of Cassivellaunus and he has an encampment to the north-east of us inland. We immediately headed out and even made good progress. That was, until the sole route led us into and through this most eerie moor...
