Answering the call of your king, you pick up your humble spear and join the Romulus Wolf legion. One of the many essential foot soldiers in the great war.
With experience, comes elevation. With a new rank and title, your prowess of the field has seen you promoted, and given extra duties. In between the wars and battles, you will be dispatched to social functions to rub elbows with the elite and help drum up support for the king’s cause. You and those like you, will be an instrumental cog in financing this war effort.
Now an officer, you have 100 legionaries under your command. You are now one of the many military arms of the legion.
As a high ranking officer in the king’s army, you now lead over 5000 troops. With your experience and strategy, you command armies into battle on behalf on the king. The king is watching your progress closely, continue to distinguish yourself, and may find yourself rewarded greatly.
Many years of war and political manoeuvrings has seen you elevated to the rank of Praetor. Overseeing multiple provinces and legions, you settle down in your villa for some well earned rest. As time passes, you must ask yourself, are you content in your life of luxury, to spend your days being fed from the hands of Greek concubines, while helping to secure funding for future war efforts? Or will you push on, join the ranks of the Extraordinarii, reignite the fire of your youth and take your training to a whole other level?
Second only to one, the Extraordinarii are the most highly trained military group in the king’s legion. With decades of combat experience, some of the best crafted equipment in the world, the Extraordinarii are a force to be reckoned with, and are the standard to which all solders look up to.
Those privileged few, always members of the Extraordinarii, can sometimes be brought into the secret organisation of the bats. Lone soldiers, working throughout the known world to advance the kings goals, these mysterious agents answer directly to the king. Amongst their many and varied duties, legend tells that they protect a secret of the king’s, that of where he came from, and why his children have all grown old, sired children of their own and died of old age, while he remains eternal, a looming shadow atop this ever growing empire.
