Welcome to the freehold of Odovacar Turcligg of the Royal clan of the Skirians. Always remember when it is time to die. Go down fighting and die with honor!

After Theudebert I, who died in 548, Merovingian power declined. Ineptitude was enthroned, and the Frankish realm developed fissures. Upper Italy had to be relinquished, and the Germans beyond the Rhine became restive. The Alemanni resumed their penetration of Rhaetia, while the Bavarians, swollen by accretions of Suebi, Skirians, and some Alemanni, achieved a degree of autonomy under the Agilolfinger dukes. The Franks managed to crush a Thuringian uprising in mid-sixth century, it is true, but the fiercely pagan Saxons succeeded in breaking away and for a time even compelled the Franks to pay tribute. East of the Elbe and Saale the Slavic Warns, Wends, and Sorbs, no longer fearful of the Franks, pushed westward in large numbers. On top of all this, the Frankish empire was after 548 wracked by civil wars for a century and a quarter. Public morals steadily declined until by mid-seventh century corruption, treason, murder, and savagery had become the Frankish way of life..
