Byzantium

The Year is 632 AD. The Byzantine Empire is all that remains of what once was the mighty Roman Empire. Meanwhile, further south in the deserts of Arabia, the prophet Mohammed has given new meaning to an old religion and sets the peoples of that land on a course of action which will echo down the ages. Under the leadership of the Caliph, the Islamic Arabs are about to descend on the prostrate bodies of the prostrate bodies of the Persian and Byzantine Empires. In Byzantium, players represent powerful families in the region, who exert their power, support, and control over both sides in this mighty conflict.
