🏛️ The Blood of Eagles: Lugdunum, 197 AD

Steel meets steel beneath the Gallic sun as two Roman titans clash—the Empire itself hangs in the balance. On this frost-kissed February morn, Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus wage war not for glory, but for the very soul of Rome. The eagle standards rise through the dust of ten thousand marching boots, crimson cloaks streaming like blood against the winter sky.

This was no battle against barbarian hordes. This was brother against brother, legion against legion—the deadliest day in Roman history, when the Empire consumed itself in civil strife. From this crucible of war, Severus emerges scarred but supreme, his hand finally heavy upon the throne.

The gods watch. The swords sing. And history remembers.
