the year is 410AD, the Roman Garrison in Britannia was shipped to Gaul by Constantine III, the usurper. Britannia, beset by raiding Picts and Saxons, asks for help from the Roman Emperor in the West, but was told to fend for themselves.
The Western half of the Empire is beset by it's own troubles, aside from the Amy of Constantine III which had overrun Gaul, the Vandals and Alans have reached Iberia, the Visigoths are at the gates of Rome, the Burgundii at the borders. These Germans have been driven westward by a great host - the Hunnic hordes, sweeping everything in their path, they now stand outside the gates of the Lombardi capital, and will start inroads into the West Empire and the East Empire very soon.
The East Roman Empire is beset by the Ostrogoths, also driven west by the Huns, and to the east the great Empire of the Sassanids, with their great cataphract cavalry. But the Sassanids are also being torn apart in the East by the Hephthalites, another great nomad horde.
No one is safe, the world is in turmoil, there is no knowing how it will end...
