He Agora (The Forum)

[johnhughthom]

A messenger arrives to speak in the Agora.

Men of Makedon, I braved torture and death to get this message here from the Basileus Grammateus.

"The treasury of our state is unable to cope with the threat of a two-front war. We may not want two wars but Pyrrhos may give it to us anyway. I ask all men of honour and patriotism to send me a message, in the strictest of privacy, detailing any means you have of assisting your state. And yes, I will be contributing myself. This is a matter of urgency if we wish to defeat the southern rebels and the Mollosian tyrant. May the Gods guide you in your generosity at this difficult time.
