General Information[]
The Visigoths, at its start, is a Germanic Gothic barbarian tribe located in the eastern part of the Carpathia region of the Eastern Europe subcontinent. The barbarians emerge from Zamolxist Dacia and Hellenic Rome land in 271, gaining cores, bordering fellow Germanic Gepidia northwest and Ostrogoths northeast, Tengri Iazygia west and Hellenic Rome south.
The Visigoths will be conquered by Chalcedonian Byzantium in 408, losing cores and will be off map "migrating". The barbarians will re-appear from Chalcedonian West Rome land in southwest areas of the France region (Western Europe subcontinent) in 418, with cores.
For many centuries the Visigoths will move south to conquer and control the Iberia region, by 711 the Sunni Umayyad will conquer the Visigoth controlled Iberia, leaving the Gothic kingdom in a reduced state in the Languedoc area of the France region. The Gothic kingdom will be fully annexed by the Umayyad in 719, losing cores and never appearing on-map again.
