Plot
The Roman Empire is no more, at least in the state it existed in before. Following the greatest uprising ever seen in Roman history, the empire was brought to its knees before being shattered in the throes of civil war. Western Europe is claimed by no faction, instead fought over by various different states. Some kingdoms rose to hold some semblance of power while other, more tribal groups fell apart into dust, consumed by the larger territories. Meanwhile in the East, the Byzantine Empire, also known as the East Roman Empire, stood firm, preserving themselves against the chaos of the West. However, rumors float around of a force approaching, one never seen in the world before. Most common is one name, one that has come to instill fear in all: Attila.
You are Aelfric Erlendr, son of a Germanic prince. Hearing the stories of this unknown terror, you harbor dreams of uniting the German tribes against this new threat and establishing a new empire in the ashes of the Romans. Throughout your journey, you will meet various interesting people from across the Mediterranean and Europe as well as Quintilius Arros from the first game.
