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!

Meeting with the Suebi

Marcellus sat across from a Suebi warlord by the name of Asarulfo. This man was not only a Suebi chieftain who was gathering the clans into one giant army. He was also a veteran warrior of a hundred battles, and more importantly, Sigefrida's eldest brother. Sigefrida was in her late twenties, while this man was practically forty. 

Despite the age difference between him and Marcellus, Asarulfo had a regal appearance, one that the Roman Emperor was not expecting. On one side was a Roman Emperor garbed in purple, with gilded scale armor, on the other was the Suebi chieftain dressed in a green tunic with red embroidery, and a shirt of mail.
