Artorius, despite his Roman title, hailed from a long line of Britannian nobility with his family having faithfully served the Empire for three generations. The game had woven an intricate backstory for this NPC, imbuing him with a deep-seated commitment to safeguard the people of Britannia.
In a daring and unexpected move, Artorius chose to forego a passive defense behind the walls and instead led his legion of 5,000 Roman soldiers onto the open fields outside the wall. This strategic decision was made to buy precious time for the civilian population to seek refuge behind the protective walls of the Roman fortifications.
Standing in opposition to Artorius and his Roman forces were the combined might of the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes. Their numbers were formidable, totaling 20,000 invaders who had crossed the treacherous seas with a fierce determination to conquer Britannia.
