The year is 407 AD and Rome is at the precipice. In the West, a usurper by the name of Flavius Claudius Constantinus has declared himself emperor. By doing this, he and his traitor legions have fractured the Western Roman Empire into two. At the same time, the north bleeds! Countless germans swarm across the borders of the Empire and pillage its lands in their ruthless raids. Alaric, King of the Goths, rises to a position of prominence and threatens the ancient capital of the dying Empire with his barbarian hordes. As if things weren't bad enough, rumors from the east state that a mysterious power rises within the fogs of war, threatening to drown the Empire in a river of blood.

As a response to these threats, the indolent emperor Honorius has given orders to his supreme commander Flavius Stilicho to reclaim the province of Gaul from the usurper. However, should he leave the heartland of the Empire undefended, undoubtedly Alaric would invade. Thus, under the threat of barbarians at the gates, Stilicho dispatches a young roman general by the name of Titus Claudius Marcellus to bring an end to the reign of the usurper. Will Rome fall to the tides of barbarians and traitors alike? Or can Marcellus restore a world collapsing around him? Find out in Heir of Aurelian!

Heir of Aurelian

<p>Marcellus was sitting in his study, signing what appeared to be an arrest warrant. After becoming the embodiment of government authority in the Western Roman Empire, Marcellus had become increasingly aware of the extent that corruption plagued the ranks of society. Embezzlement, bribery, nepotism, extortion, lobbying, and outright incompetency could be found in every corner of the Empire. It was truly sickening, and something needed to be done about this.  </p>

<p>It was becoming apparent that Marcellus would need to make an example of the profligates and corrupt officials that were spread across his realm. It was because of this that Marcellus had tasked his army with the purpose of arresting every corrupt and incompetent bureaucrat within the Western Roman Empire. He would not spare the cancer that had long since begun to rot away at the realm.  </p>
