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 weeks that followed his meeting with Marcellus, Braulio and his merry band of Vandals had packed up their belongings, and set course for the Sassanid capital of Ctesiphon. When they arrived in the region, the local garrison immediately took notice of their appearance. Hundreds of large, pale-skinned men from the north were not exactly common in this part of the world. Especially when travelling together.

As for the Vandals' weapons and armor, they left them in their trunks, as to not cause alarm. The moment Braulio rode his horde into the gates of the city, two sentries stopped him and began to question the man in their native tongue.

"Halt, what is your business in this city?"
