The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Much of what is now the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and in a broader sense much of the population of medieval Western Europe, could eventually be described as Frankish, depending on the context.
- Pre-existing Germanic tribes such as the Bructeri and Chattuari began being referred to as Franks during the crisis of the 3rd century, when Rome lost control of regions near the lower Rhine, within the Roman province of Germania Inferior.
- The Rhine was a militarized border defended by the Romans, and the Frankish tribes had been living across the Rhine under Roman hegemony for centuries, under other tribal names.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Franks article was read about 430,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
