Submissions

Submission 1

The Restoration of the Empire

The once mighty Roman Empire is now in decline as centuries of defeats, civil wars and wars have brought the empire to its knees. This is a story that traces the restoration of the Empire starting from the reign of the great Emperor Alexios I Comnenus. The Empire is once more surrounded by enemies. Will it be able to restore itself in this new era or will it be ripped apart?

Submission 2

Submission 3

Written in Sand

AAR is a slower-paced more novel-like piece following the exploits of Mun'at Ha'Qadri, a Nabataean general who is tasked with uniting the tribes of Arabia, but has dreams of his own to conquer the settlements of the Nile. Along the way his men will encounter not just the perils of war but of exposure and the harsh realities of desert crossings, not to mention the arrogance and foolishness of princes.

I just voted, and am really happy to see the number and quality of submissions. Usually the one or two votes allowed are sufficient, but this time around I feel like I would have liked to have picked my 5 favorite AARs! Great job everyone, there are excellent pieces here!
