Heir of Aurelian

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!

Anticipating the Enemy's Schemes

Sigefrida stood across from Marcellus, who sat in his office and read over the document that had been provided to him by the frumentarii. The evidence was damning. It was not only an incident report, but a report about the punishments inflicted upon those who had survived the border crisis. It was signed by the local Dux and stamped with the seal of Constantinople. There was simply no way for the eastern roman empire to deny these allegations now that Marcellus had such proof. 

Upon realizing that, the only reason he was able to obtain such evidence was because of Sigefrida's quality leadership over his intelligence network. Marcellus quickly approached the woman and wrapped his arms around her before planting a kiss on her lips.
