Hey all! I'm presenting here a semi-historical Roman-themed plot, no knowledge of Roman history is required although I believe it could enhance the experience, that being said I'll get on with things.
On Desert Winds
In the year 298, the junior emperor Galerius, serving under his senior Augustus Diocletian, set about on a campaign of vengeance against Sassanids, the inheritors of Persia's eastern legacy. During the opening conflict Rome was devastated by a major defeat at the hands of their eastern rivals and, although humiliated and berated by his senior colleague, Galerius once again marshaled his forces for a second assault which became known as the battle of Satala. Critical to the Roman victory was the capture of the Sassanid king's wives, harem, and treasury which forced him to the table. This is where our roleplay would pick up.
I'd like to play a Roman, specifically, a praetorian guard (emperor's bodyguard) within Galerius' inner circle who, after the emperor's victory, begins plotting with members of the captured Sassanid party to assassinate the emperor and engineer their escape. Requirements for the roleplay are the ability to post at least once a day and a willingness to play multiple characters. A desire for intrigue and political shenanigans would also be appreciated. Romance is a possibility but not really a necessity and character options range from fellow praetorians to Roman court officials to members of the Sassanid party, really I'm open for most things.
If this plot intrigues you please send me a PM and we'll discuss things further. As of right now I'm looking for maybe 1-2 stable partners.
