The mission: Your story in Braga

The year is 311. Turbulent times cast a shadow on the Roman Empire since the death of Constantius. The empire is divided as three men claim to be the rightful emperor, but only one can succeed.

You’re Flavius Julius, General Commander of the Flavia Gallicana, Legion in the West. You’re loyal to the one true emperor, Constantine. Officially, you have been sent to Bracara Augusta with your legion to reinforce the western frontier of the empire in Hispania. But your true mission is another.
