Two years and 8 months after the establishment of King Olisipo's domain, he was challenged by a Cimbrian chief. He appeased the chief by paying silver. At this time, there was a new Roman governor in Britain. The Paris district was completely subjected too at this time. King Olisipo had one son, Timothy, at this time that he begot with his wife Sara. Verita at this time still lived in the palace and she spend weekends on the farmhouse. One day there were some robbers that robbed one of the villages. The robbers were from Cimbria. This led to a short war between Nerigos as a whole and Cimbria. At the beginning of his conflict, there was a young sailor that sailed inside the fjord where Verita's house was. He had a lot of silver jewelry that he wanted to sell in Nerigos. He, however, hearing that there was war in Nerigos wanted to leave. At his departure he saw a young woman near a large house. He got to shore and compelled her to come. The sailor, who was a Rhaetian born half Israelite, had a small house in Britain. He was a harbor employer in Gaul and he heard of a soldier named Jared who visited a Hebrew led Nerigoan town in Nerigos. So he wanted to check it out for himself after he constructed his house in Britain. Little did he know that the woman he rescued from the war was well known to that Roman soldier.
The decisions of Claudius brought big disasters for the stability of Gaul. Formerly, Gaul was the shores of Gaul were the border of the Empire and therefore of the civilized world. Gaul despite the low population remained a wealthy province for Rome. Yet, now that Britain is in the picture, the important of Gaul will diminish. With the lower relevance of Gaul, the minorities within Gaul - the Hebrew Christians and their converts from the pagan nations - would gain more freedom and space to become dominant in towns and eventually over larger regions. Also... Nobody was checking who was migrating to Britain at this time. So many seekers of a better life were entering Britain without any border patrol checking on them. Poor ghetto folk would just cross the sea with false documents and they could become employed within the government and with the local client kings. A chaos it was... Yet the chaos was a blessing in disguise. Just as Jared's rejection of Verita was a blessing in disguise. She was now blinded to a wealthy husband without realizing it.
