The Eastern Roman Empire Responds

Yazdegerd I gazed upon the document in his hand with an expression of disbelief. The western roman emperor was dead. Murdered by the hands of his Magister Militum. Though things were not that simple. According to his intelligence, the only reason Olympius had reacted in such a hostile manner to the man he served was because of the rebellion caused by Titus Claudius Marcellus. 

With the death of Honorius, the Western Roman Empire, or at least part of it, fell into the hands of a usurper. A man who would marry the previous emperor's sister in a desperate attempt to gain some legitimacy. To Yazdegerd I, who was the regent of the current Eastern Roman emperor. This was an affront to the Theodosian Dynasty, and Yazdegerd had half a mind to send his own Magister Militum into the west to reclaim the throne for his charge
