Skelphland an insight.
Below are a couple of pieces taken from my upcoming dynasty, it may turn you off the dynasty or leave you wanting more who is to say 
The first part is from the story of the main character who is yet to be named, this part he will be reading in class just before his school breaks up for the Summer holidays and most importantly days free to play baseball. I wanted to throw parts like this in to give people an insight into the history of the country.
Where once the green fields covered the Skelphian landscape now the blades of grass were tinged red, red with the blood of many a warrior who died in battle on that warm July day in 1572. The hordes of Borovian hashshashin had cut through Estibias like a scythe through a field of wheat as they came upon the border of Skelphland, the prize they sought in trying to conquer Skelphland were the tin and silver mines of Arundale and Stoneshire. Although the Borovian army outnumbered the Skelphians 5 to 1 on that day, it was the foresight of King Helfeg over 100 years ago that had installed confidence within the Skelphian army that they could be victorious.
Helfeg had realised what the mines in Northern Skelphland meant to his country and had ordered the forming of the Knights of the Highlands, men who through generations had been hand picked from the villages and towns of Arundale simply because of their prowess at fighting specially in the rough terrain of North Skelphland. When the battle had finished 50,000 Borovian bodies lay on the soil of Skelphland and thousands more would join them in the here after on the road back to Borovia through their injuries.
The second part is from how baseball became the game it is in Skelphland.
Until 1856 there were many variations of what we know today as baseball being played around Skelphland, in Arundale and the northern parts of Stoneshire and Hoptonshire they played a game called “Miners Ball” named so because of it mostly being played by the miners from the many mines that were dotted around the north. In Kibworth they played a game called “Long Ball” and in Stowell they still played “Coi” a game brought to the shores of Skelphland by famous explorer Alexander Thirwell after one of his voyages in 1820.
It wasn’t until Kern Eckard a young man from Kibworth went to seek his fortune in the mines of Arundale in early 1856 that the foundations of baseball would be set forever, Eckard had been one of the most famous exponents of long ball in Kibworth and was given a rousing send off from the people of the county as they expected him to be just as famous in the north playing miners ball as he had been playing long ball in Kibworth.
