In the enchanting realm of Videssos, where ancient gods and powerful sorcerers shape the fabric of reality, the fate of entire civilizations hangs in the balance. Led by the steadfast and determined Captain Eshref, a legion of Roman soldiers finds themselves mysteriously transported from their empire's battlefields to this strange land, teetering on the brink of war and upheaval. As they struggle to adapt to a world where the familiar rules of combat have been turned upside down, Eshref faces the ultimate challenge: unite his men while navigating the treacherous politics of the city-states, monstrous creatures, and the whims of capricious deities.
