Legio X

[debrentforde]

Greetings to all in Albion.

I am Anthony de Brentforde, former Legate of Caesar's 10th Legion, and I am hear to announce that this famed legion is recruiting to its ranks in your fair land.

I left the service of Rome and came to Albion with my family 6 months ago, and felt immediately at home. We settled in Camelot Hills and had a small farm near Prywden Keep. Then the darkness descended on our lives.

My wife was murdered and my son taken away by a Norse raiding party during one of our visits to Excalibur Castle. I mourned long, and hid myself from the world. Then an overwhelming desire for revenge filled my soul. I killed every evil creature that crossed my path and left a trail of blood across the three realms. But I soon began to realise that one man achieves nothing.

I went back to Rome and requested that I be allowed to recruit and train a Legion to help defend our borders against the barbarians from Midgard, and the dark magic of Hibernia.

I have been given leave to form the 10th Legion here in Albion, and I call upon strong and brave adventurers to join Legio X and work towards the final defeat of our enemies.

"Strength and Honour"

ummm but Rome and Albion ..... different ages...

Different Era

Not really that different.

Title of the game implies dark ages - circa 7th century. The Eastern Roman Empire was less than a hundred years earlier. Close enough with artistic licence

And yes I know that the 10th Legion was earlier but I liked the title, and the fact that it was involved in the invasion of Britain - so there is a link there.

The weaponry, armour and architecture of the game's environment is medieval in type but the background of the game is most definitely dark ages.

Plus there are a lot of Roman mobs in the game - so another connection there.

But if you want to be a real purist . . . . how about this amendment to the story:

"I arrived back from Rome with permission to recruit to the 10th Legion here in Albion but was ambushed in the Pennine Mountains by a Dark Mage whose magic rendered me to stone.

And there I stood - until transformed back to living flesh by the Spirit of Merlin - nearly half a century later."

Now read on . . .
