Rome: After the coming of the Titans and the great flood their was chaos throughout the great Roman Empire of the west. The last great leader was Hadrian, who built the Great Wall. But he could not last forever and he was assassinated, leaving only the remnants of Hadrians pride and joy, the once mighty Roman Empire is in turmoil. Rulers pass as quickly as fleeting rainbows. Wealth moves from one man to another faster than the turning of a potters Threats come from every side. The Saxons through off their yokes in the Britains. The Hu'al attack from the east. The Edyptians plot revolt led by Zenobia, a nature spirit of the Nile. Life is one great murder for money and power, but still the Romans hold onto their land with the same steadfast resolve that brought them their empire. The current emperor was Avallus Caradus Augustus, a greedy and clever man who spent much of his time cheating people out of their money when something strange happened. He was assassinated. That in itself was not strange. What was strange was the man who took his place. He seemed no different from man others. A wiry man, with grey hair and a determined but somewhat cruel smile. Within a week an assassin was sent to kill him. But this man would not simply die. He strangled the assassin with nothing but his bare hands and had the man's body hung outside the colosseum. The new emperor was without a doubt, Fortis Antiqius Maximus. He quickly set about subduing his empire and killed off many adversaries. He then sent many troops to the Roman-Hu'al border and drove back the tribes. He crushed the revolt in Egypt, captured Zenobia, and had her whipped and hung from the palace roof by her feet. Being a river spirit she survived but in great pain. He then led his armies in to the Britains, but there was stopped. The Saxons had prepared for the attack and they new the land. The Romans pushed further and further into the Britains but the Saxosn just kept retreating. Then in a small forest vale where the Romans had camped the Saxons came down from all sides. It was a bloody battle for both sides but the Romans were literally slaughtered. The Roman Empire was then de-moralized and weakened, and then the Titans of Sin struck. They hit in places where it hurt most and the Romans were driven back. But still Fortis held onto his title and the Romans held on to the west. Zenobia is soon to be executed in the chaos,(quest option) and the world is once again downtrodden. That's where we live now, with this neutral, warlike, determined, and once mighty faction, fighting to keep control of it's ancient lands.
