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!

Selecting a New Magister Militum

In the city of Constantinople, the eastern roman regent, Yazdegerd I, stared at the scene of the crime with utter fury on his face. He could hardly believe that the greatest general that eastern Rome had at its disposal was taken out in his own home. Words from the man's bodyguards stated that he bought a slave earlier in the day, and brought her back to his place to test her out. However, she killed him silently, and absconded from the scene without the bodyguards being the slightest bit aware.

In response to this, Yazdegerd had the men who were supposed to guard Frugi beheaded. There was no tolerance for dereliction of duty in the eyes of the Sassanid King, and regent of the Eastern Roman Empire. He could only sigh as he gazed upon the stiff corpse of the magister militum before giving out the orders to bury it.

"Bury him with full honors and find out who is responsible for this attack!'
