-Man is a human kingdom modeled after the myths of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur|King Arthur]] and the kingdoms of Andor and Tar Valon in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time|The Wheel of Time]] book series.
+The Kingdom of Man was once the land of [[Fomoria-ea|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 [[tir-na-n-og-ea|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-[[Ulm-ea|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-ma|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 [[spell-singer|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.
+Man is a human kingdom modeled after the myths of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur|King Arthur]] and the kingdoms of Andor and Tar Valon in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time|The Wheel of Time]] book series. The Logrian element of the nation (with Logres being the name of King Arthur's dominion in //The Matter of Britain//) was more-or-less added in Dominions 4, to represent the Anglo-Saxons; they ran petty kingdoms until forced to unite by outside pressures, mainly from the Norse and their descendants.
