After a long struggle which resulted in stalemate against the Romans, Pyrrhus was a man who was both blessed and cursed by the events that would now unfold. Some have argued that he should keep his obligations to the Tarentines who he agreed to protect from the Romans, but many a strong Epirote now views the Tarentines with contempt, expecting us to protect them whilst they still enjoy the benefits that Greek civilization has to offer! The Epirote campaign in Sicily had ended badly also, after our kings perceived 'tyranny' by the people of Syracuse. The king would have to speak with his advisers and see what the best course of action would be. Whether to launch a campaign against the hated Romans, and maybe even another campaign in Sicily, or perhaps the best course of action would be to destroy the Antigonid dynasty of Macedonia and unite the most hardy and powerful peoples of Greece under the Epirote crown, and eclipse even the achievements of Alexander the Great! Whatever the case, swift action is needed, indecision has led to the destruction of many kings and with it their kingdoms!
