A Short History of Cherussia[]

Cherussia was one of the Kingdoms of the Cimbrian Alliance. Cherussia was foudned by the Cherusci minority tribe of Germania. After the end of the Second War for the North the Cherusci, and the other smaller tribes of Northern Germania formed five separate but very similar Kingdoms. The Cherusci King, and Prince-Elector, Hjalmar was another of the electors who chose Æthelred of Cimbria as the first High King of their Alliance.

Cherussia's capital was known as Traectium during the time that it was a part of Roman Germania. Traectium, like the other names of things in the Cimbrian Alliance, had its name changed to fit the Cherussian Language. Trecht however would have been confused with another city known as Traectium ad Mosam which was named Maastricht and was also in Cherussia. The capital city was given the prefix 'Uut' meaning 'down' as in down river.
