Quoted By:
The light of Rome fades...
The emperor has just died, leaving no successor.
In the eternal city, the senate has appointed one of their own to be the next emperor.
However, in the provinces several usurping generals have laid claim to the title.
In the north, barbarian tribes gather at the edge of the empire, posed to invade.
In the east, the Persian empire keeps a close eye on the situation, ready to take advantage of it if the opportunity arises.
In this quest, you can be any of the following:
>The newly appointed, legitimate emperor (one only)
>A usurper (specify which province you're in, it can't be Italy or Egypt)
>Leader of a barbarian tribe (specify which one)
>King of the Persians (one only)
Through diplomatic negotiation, political intrigue, and military conquest, each of you will attempt to carve out a place for yourself in this newly created power vacuum.
Fortuna Favet Fortibus, my friends.
