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!

Word quickly spread to Marcellus about the ongoing chaos in the streets of Ctesiphon, it was a matter he took very seriously. As whoever emerged victorious in this conflict would likely gain a leg ahead of the others in regards to the ongoing succession crisis.

Luckily, Sigefrida brought the man some great news about this matter. With a wide grin on her face, she was quick to reveal just what she had learned from her agents embedded in the Persian capital.

"It would appear that Mitra is safe and sound within our agent's hiding spot. The fools could tear the entire city apart, and they would never find her. We just need to wait for the violence to die down before we can assess the situation in full.

For now, both Narseh and Mitra are still alive. Which means we can continue our plans. If anything, this attack by Bahram's agents can be seen as a provocation, and will earn him the ire of the other contenders.
