The mission: Your story in Brasov

It's 1738. You are Capitan Ilie Birt, a wealthy merchant from Scheii Brasovului. You have just returned from a glorious campaign against the Ottomans.

On your way back home, you realize that now is the perfect time to implement the secret plan of the Romanians living in the Schei neighborhood. 
With the prestige gained on the battlefield and with the wealth of the local merchants, you could turn Schei into a Republic. That way the people could finally break free from the Saxon tyranny.
