Following the defeat of the Hussites in Bohemia, Europe had enjoyed some years of internal peace and stability. But everything is about to change. The crushing defeat of the Holy Roman Empire at the Battle of Valencia has recently ended the Iberian Crusade in favour of the Andalusians, the retreating armies leaving the Frankish Emperor dead on the battlefield alongside his only son.
In the aftermath, the throne was hastily occupied by the late Emperor’s old and loathsome uncle Lothair, who has yet to produce a legitimate heir. Should Lothair die without a successor, his passing would not only mean extinction of the Carolingian dynasty, but also great turmoil within the Holy Roman Empire and its immediate neighbours.
Meanwhile, another threat strangles Europe from the south, as the Muslim Sultanate of Sicily is in the final phases of planning a thrust into Italy while Andalusia’s armies assemble for a punitive campaign against the Christians.
Trouble looms yet again in the Middle East; an era of stagnation of the Nizzarid Sultanate has come to an end, with young and ambitious Sultan Abdul ascending to the throne bearing the promise of his forefathers to purge the Levant of Crusader States.
Order which has existed in Europe and the Near East for centuries is about to crumble and this mod will give you the opportunity to experience it first-hand.
Ante Bellum is an alternative history mod currently centered around Europe, East Asia and parts of the Middle East.
