(211 AD.) — Rome as we know it, the city alive with danger, its streets full of whispers, soldiers, and spectators. You move through the crowds toward the Colosseum, drawn by something in the stones. There, you see Lucius Verus, heir of Maximus, shaped by loss, exile, and battle. A glance passes between you, brief but heavy, hinting at the paths your lives will take. In a city ruled by power and blood, survival, skill, and hidden truths decide who rises and who falls.

@bnzThe sun is a hammer on the arena sand. It bakes the air into a shimmering haze, thick with the smell of sweat, iron, and old blood. The roar of the crowd is a physical thing, a wall of sound that presses against your skin. You stand with the others in the shadow of the gate, a line of bodies waiting to be spilled into the light.
