It is the late Fourth Age, and the world is becoming more loud and less green. And soon, it will be painted in blood. Ever since the Union of the Silver Shield ripped itself apart, there's been only two superpowers in the world- the twin bastards of Númenor, the Reunited Kingdom and the Atmoran Empire. In the past few centuries the typical army has swollen to a size that those in the Third Age only witnessed once- the combined host of the Easterlings which assaulted the Lonely Mountain in the War of the Ring. These days, there aren't any Elves left, unless you believe the stories of nomadic groups consisting of a few dozen. The Dwarves remain strong, but are not what they once were. If they were to all join together, they may prove a real threat in the coming onslaught. You see, the Atmorans have a bad habit of getting an Emperor a few times every millenia who's so incredibly psychotic that the only description that can honestly be given is "evil son of a bitch". Gracchus Nerva Silvanus is one of those Emperors. He's an experienced campaigner, a sadistically cruel man, ruthless, and a genuinely feared swordsman on the field of battle. Sextus, father of Deximus the Great and grandfather of Marius the Terrible (Marius' title was a casualty of incorrect translation; it was actually Marius the Awesome), was simply an incompetent sex addict- Gracchus is the kind of guy who genuinely inspires horror when people in other countries realize he's personally leading an army heading to siege their city.

In Minas Anor, sits the great-great-grandson of the legendary Elessar the Renewer, sixteen-year-old Elegost Telcontar. He's never led in a war, is a gentle fellow, noted for his studious nature, is physically below average, and has all the skill of a typical infantryman. Hardly the stuff of legend. Gracchus knows this.

In the meantime, the until-recently Heir of Isildur is struggling to run his country. A famine has struck his allies in Rohan, and now reports are coming in from Arnor that the Dunlending and Nordic clans are getting restless. Most troubling of all, is a renewed surge of Orc and Uruk activity in Mordor, as the people of Nûrn have reported extremely increased skirmishes along the border with Gorgoroth.
