THE RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM

AUTHOR: Blip99

GAME: Barbarian Invasion (Rome)

MOD: IB:SAI

FACTION: Frankish Tribes

"I am one of the few remaining men on this earth that remember the glory days of the empire, the days of the last great Emperor Valentinian. I have now seen much more than a man ever needs to witness in his lifetime and now in my winter years I have thought to write it all down.

The following story encompasses the scope of my entire life (well, what I can remember!), and includes tales of my escapades and adventures, for my own sense of fulfilment and for the vague chance that someone might find them and read of this great era.

My name is Valens Sutorius, and I am, was, a Roman."
