Romulus — The War for Rome
The looming conflict hangs on a precarious balance: two figures, Wiros and Yemos, stand at opposing crossroads – one tethered to humanity, the other touched by the divine. Their intertwined destinies hold the key not just to victory or defeat in the war, but to the very future of Rome itself. For within the city's heart lies a fundamental truth: Rome can endure only under a single ruler.
King Tito Tazio of the Sabines extended an invitation to Yemos and Wiros, urging them to visit Cures. The gesture, however, concealed a treacherous plot; the visit devolved into an ambush, culminating in the abduction of the Sabine priestes…
Wiros sought aid from the kings of the surrounding lands, while Silvia implored the Sabines to spare Yemos from attack.
Tito pressed forward. The Ruminales assailed a Sabine garrison, and as despair seemed imminent, a contingent led by Wiros charged into the fray. Yemos was wounded, and the priestess Ersilia proposed transporting him to the Tusci for healing…
With Yemos fading, Ersilia journeys to her childhood village, bringing Wiros for treatment. Meanwhile, Titos is consumed by fury at Servios and the others who have fled into the woods.
Hunger had frayed the edges of Rome, and the resulting strain finally snapped into open conflict. Amidst the turmoil, Titus found himself responding to the loyalty of the Latin kings in a manner that surprised even himself.
With Tito’s intervention, the momentum shifts against the Romans, forcing their withdrawal. Yemos resolves to relinquish the scepter to Wiros.
Wiros urged his team to hold onto hope, to envision triumph. Yet, on the day he married Ersilia, a harsh reality regarding his brother confronted him.
Wiros yielded to the Sabines, relinquishing control of Rome. As the former king, now bound, was led away, a woman placed a cloak upon his shoulders, a gesture that deeply troubled Titus.
