So no doubt you're wondering baout those blue arrows I added. Well those are invasion attempts during the years between the breaking of the seal and the present. So on to those.

A little backstory about Britain. Britain had been utterly devastated by the flooding and earthquakes of Ragnarok, and ultimately abandoned by the Romans as they pulled in to protect their center. That meant the weakened and decentralized troops there were left to defend themselves with no outside help. Naturally, the hordes took advantage of this. A huge fleet was assembled in the Scandinavian homeland, and sent to recapture Britain in the name of Shal'vor. The poor Romans never stood a chance. In fact, many of the supressed natives reveled at the oppuruhity to break free from their opressors, so the war in England and Wales was less of a war and more a bunch of angry bearded men chasing around terrified bearded men. Now unlike England and Wales, the Scottish Highlands had fared relatively well through the apocalypse. In fact they had been united by a powerful warlord, and were stockpiling food and weapons. I need a famous historical turn of events, the Roman governor tried to seek refuge there, begging them to take him and his troops in. However he was turned away, and slaughtered by Shal'vor's forces soon after. Despite their best efforts, Shal'vor's forces were unable to take the highlands, and decided to pull back after several humiliating defeats. Instead they licked their wounds and turned their heads toward other prizes.
