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!

Sarus rode on horseback, along with several members of his tribe, who were Foederati of the Roman Army. They had ensured that they weren't dressed in roman garb as they strode through the lands of the Gepids with anxious expressions on their faces. A warrior beneath Sarus's command was quick to question the man's sanity as he continued forward into hostile territory.

"Chief, pardon my prying, but I seem to remember the last time that you met with the Gepid King he tried to kill you. Are you sure this is a good idea?"

In response to this question, Sarus merely before responding to the man's concerns with a voice filled with indignation. Not only had the Gepid King tried to kill him during their last encounter, he nearly succeeded in doing so, and he did not wish to be reminded of this fact.
