Development: Sundered Lands

Idea: Base the fall of the most recent empire (tentatively Empire of Solaj) on the Roman empire.

1. Legions, once feared throughout the known world, had become softened through 100 years of offensive or defensive combat. They had been patrolling the borders, not fighting wars.

2. The position of emperor became very unstable, with succession more often through assassination than any other method. Many of the Roman legions declared their own commanders as emperor and marched on Rome instead of securing the borders from enemies.
