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

In the war room of Marcellus' villa, several men of high ranking within the western roman military were waiting patiently. Among the Imperial Legates, whose responsibilities were to govern and protect the various diocese, half of them were present.

The others who were absent were exempted from their summons because of the dire situation in the territory they presided over. Ultimately, they would be informed of what was discussed here at a later date.

Alaric, Sarus, Carnifex, and Constantius III were all present for this meeting. They had not been told why they were summoned, only that their presence was needed in Rome. They waited patiently for the Imperator to grace them with his presence, while discussing among themselves reasons for this meeting.
