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!

King Sarus

Yazdegerd stood within the Palace of Constantinople. The reports he was reading were truly unbelievable. He could not help but smash his fist on the table in a fit of fury. Did his troops really withdraw after losing their heavy cavalry? Such insolence. The rage within his heart at this moment could consume an entire galaxy. 

The defeat of his forces within Illyricum had caused the Western Roman Army to advance further to the nearest stronghold which was currently under siege. As for the other sieges, they were not going as planned, either. Though a few of the fortresses had fallen into the hands of the eastern roman forces. The majority of the battles occurring on the eastern border of Illyricum were stalemates. 

The technological advantages of the Western Roman Army were numerous and powerful. They had provided Marcellus and his forces with a significant ability to harm the attackers. Something that the Persian King simply was not expecting.
