"And this I curse you from my heart! By this deed, you will be bereft of lordship, dispossessed of your legacy, and shunned of your glory!"

THE BLACK-HEARTED LORDS OF THRACE: CHAPTERS I-XI

Seuthes Minor, at war against the Galatians.

Faction: Odrysian Kingdom
Game: Rome II: Emperor Edition
Mods: Sebidee's Balkan Unit Roster Expansion, and Odrysian Kingdom Emblem mod
Difficulty: Hard

The ongoing violent and epic ten part saga of the line of Teres and the dread lords of the Odrysian Kingdom and the Daco-Thracian Confederation, spanning three hundred years continues in chapter XI, a time of intrigue and betrayal.

Since the rule of the lesser kings, Beithys II, Teres the White Stag, and Olorus the Serpent, the two brothers of the fires of heaven, Seuthes Minor and Seuthes Major, the Second Lion, have continued the legacy of conquest, raiding and expansion set forth by Sparatocos, their father, and formed a union with the Epirots and Dacians. War is brewing in the east against the Parthians. Now Sparatocos' Roman grandchild, Sitalces, the namesake of the greatest historical extent of the Kingdom, and the Leucrotius, Master of Horse, strives to maintain his sense of justice under the command of two older kings, the Edonian Abrupolis the Black, and his uncles Rhoemetalces, and the ambitions of his adoptive mother Mokasokos, while being ordered back from the eastern front in the Bosphoran Kingdom to pursue their less than honorable intentions on the Getae's behalf in a war to end wars against the Suebi and Germanic tribes. Rich in cultural and historical reference of art, architecture, and artifacts, this is a alternative vision of Alcibiades nightmare become reality.

The time has come for a new warlord to become Shogun. But who will reign victorious?Yuki is a naive, young man. He has little knowledge of the outside world and he knows nothing but his small village. Yet a glimpse of the outside world, and the temptations of the power of the yumi, are enough to draw him out into a dangerous and deadly world. Men are but pawns of the people who rule over them, and though many claim to live by it, honor is all but gone. Now, total war seems inevitable and Yuki must find his place in a world, which cares little for the common man. But the gods seem to have their own intentions for Yuki. In a cruel and unforgiving world, one man will shape his own destiny and with it, his country’s as well.
