Man is one of the first nations conceived in the Dominions universe. The nation is a conglomerate of medieval English and Arthurian concepts spiced with some fantasy elements from Ars Magica and the books of Robert Jordan. The Irish/Northumbrian monastic tradition, Anglo-Saxon society, and Welsh longbowmen are all inspirational sources. Later on, the nation turns towards scholarship paired with dark tidings. The mood in the movie Sleepy Hollow is a nice comparison.
In Dominions 4 steps has been taken to accentuate the influence of invading barbarians reminiscent of the Angles and Saxons. It is not difficult to see an early Ulm or a similar nation in the Logrian backstory." -Illwinter

The Kingdom of Man was once the land of Fomoria, or at least a land connected to that one. Though a bountiful domain, the Fomorians did a lot of damage to the place through their wars with Partholonians, Nemedians, and finally the Tuatha. Their back-and-forth with those superhuman elves, with the half-elven Fir Bolg used as peons by both sides, ultimately ended with Fomoria ruined and the Tuatha victorious; not that their victory was long-lived, for then humanity arrived.

The first humans in Man were the Logrians, guided by warrior-shamans of a seemingly-Ulmish background. Migrating to the once-Fomorian landmass, they coexisted with the Fir Bolg at first, but expelled most of them the moment an opportunity arose. This chance came with the Milesian invasion of the Tuatha's imperial core (now known as Eriu), causing the Tuatha and their Sidhe descendants to abandon Fomoria in a bid to salvage the situation. From there, the Logrians' new home was called Logres; that was the only thing the various Logrian tribes could agree on, however, and they entered a period of feuding petty kings.

Logres became Man with the arrival of the Witches, non-Logrian ladies who heard notes of magic from the forests and came to find the full songs. Eventually they found their prize, the Enchanted Forest of Avalon, and treasure troves of Sidhe spellsongs. Their discovery made them the most powerful beings in the land, so they united Logres and chose a non-Logrian King for it. The Logrian families remain as much of the Kingdom of Man's nobility, but their men are forbidden from joining the Witches' coven; the closest some can get, aside from eavesdropping and becoming Bards, is through supplicating to the Witches and becoming their Wardens.

A little trivia: Logres is the name of King Arthur's dominion in The Matter of Britain, and a variation of the Welsh name for England.
