The Begining
The wind blows, the sun blazes.
A Great Council holds, by all kings. Former foes.
For all knows, a great enemy, baby eating wrenches.
They are creatures in man-form. Claim, they
hailed from the ruins of troia. Wive-thieves.
They are the Romaioi.
"O Mighty Zeus, great father of thunder,
heed our pleas of guidiance. Creatures
siring of Barbaropolis, baby-eating Xenos.
They grow day to day. Megas hellas wails."
Shed not a tear, o Mortals. For salvation
shall bring a thousand blessings to the living.
Know the Roman; Kill the Roman.
Blessed by the vision, the Council cheers.
For they are united, humanity as one. Two
Basileus they elect, Maion and Satalextos.
One guides in spirit; One guides in zeal.
To victory they shall lead. Barbaropolis,
pestilent, corrupt, filthy. Creatures in man-form.
Archeias Kainepolites, Chaplain from Great Hellas.
By orders of Polemarchos Basileos, he lead. A
spearhead of Hellenes. Fore of his depart,
wisdom from Satalextos he seeks:
'What is the greatest failure which we must guard?'
'The failure to die when death would serve the Basileus' purpose.
'What of the times when the enemy is stronger, in body or in number?'
'No xenos is more cunning then a Romaioktonoi. No traitor has the courage of the pious'
'How must the barbaroi be met on the battlefield?'
'The barbaroi fears our purity and nobility. He must therefore be met with the most pure and noble hatred.'
'What right do we have to pass judgement on a dweller of Barbaropolis?'
'I ask of you, what right have we to presume him innocent?'
'What do our enemies see when they look upon the Romaioktonoi?'
'They see their gods and the heroes of their corrupted myths, gathered before them and heralding the end of their world.'
Faith is his shield, there is nothing to fear.
Regent to Maion, a fine Makedones, gifts
Phalangitai of 3, and an ile of fine horsemen.
"There is only the Romaioktonoi,
and they are our shield and protectors."
Archeias marches to glory.
Burn the heretic. Kill the Roman. Purge the Barbaroi.
