Fifteen hundred years ago the forces of the ancient Valgardian Empire, the only real change in the terms of rule was the name, whom had conquered all the British isles in the name of the Empire and then organized for the first time they had united the entirety of the island chain. As such the Valgardian Empire and had founded many towns and cities during their occupation of the British Isles. In their time of rule they had stabilized the nation under the rule of the Valgardian nobility and rule of the Scandinvan Valgardian Emperor whom maintained rule of the lands for five hundred years of peace and prosperity.

After their five hundred years of rule the Valgardian Empire decided to leave the nation to its own devices as the mineral resources of the British isles had been exhausted and it had been determined that it would be more profitable for the Empire to have it as a trading partner then have to pay for the infrastructure and garrison prices needed to keep the islands running efficiently enough to keep up a reasonable profit. After, leaving they had left a monarch to act as the ruler of the nation and then the nation was left mostly to its own devices, but despite the Empire leaving many of the Valgardian nobility chose to stay behind and became the leading landholders in the new kingdoms and successor states.

So now after fifteen hundreds years since the Valgardian Scandinvans had first taken control of the British Isles, Emperor Olaf IV had decided to visit the nation that had once been key to supplying the Empire with food and whose wealth had financed many of the conquest of the Scandinvan Empire. Thus now Emperor Olaf was now coming to Edinburgh, Scotland where the Valgardians had first begun their conquest of the British isles and had made their first which for a century was the capital of the province of Greater Britain until it was moved to the more strategic and viable spot of London.

So now in the air the aircarft of the Emperor requested permission to land in Edinburgh.

IC: The plane landed at the airport and then came to a stop where everything had been set up for the ceremony and other what not that would be taking place. So after coming to a stop and with the ramp coming onto the door of the airplane the door opened with a column of guards flanking the sides of ramp. With that the guards in their silver shining plate mail unfurled the bright banners of the Scandinvan Empire. Now the Emperor, dressed in the Imperial gold plate mail glittering with countless jewels and with his regal cape in the wind, descended in the full majesty expected of a man of his power and lineage. Then waving to the people Olaf then looked to Queen Elizabeth and said,” Greetings my lady, it has been many long centuries since any of my line have stepped onto the soil of this land. For that I thank you greatly as this soil can be considered somewhat holy to my people.”

Then looking out at the car the Emperor just remained looking at it calculating what would be best, but then reached down for a bag of diamond and gold rings which he then proceeded to throw lightly at the crowd. After throwing a few dozen he stopped and remarked,” Queen Elizabeth, your people seem to be highly cheerful over this visit and as such I wish to ask what does significance does my visit here bear towards you and your people?”

I understand that its history is rather violent, but its historical significance as to what it helped to forge is its true value and it also holds a great deal of bearing for me as my ancestor was the one to wield during the whole of the wars of conquest of these lands. Yet, I know depart with it and give it to your nation in the hopes of fostering friendship between our two great peoples and as to might help to increase your closeness to your own history.”
