Prologue
For centuries, countless tales have been told of King Arthur. But you've never heard the true story...
Between the dreams of a boy, and the courage of a man...
Between the love of a woman, and the loyalty of a brotherhood...
Between the fall of an empire, and the rise of a nation...
Lies the true story behind the legend...
By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. But they wanted more. More land, more people's loyalty and subservient to Rome.
But no people so important, as the powerful Sarmatians to the east.
Thousands died in that field.
And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive were members of the decimated, but legendary cavalry.
The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, spared their lives.
In exchange, these warriors were incorporated into the Roman military.
Better they had died that day...
For the second part of the bargain they struck, indebted not only themselves... but also their sons; and their sons, to serve the Roman Empire as Knights.
But in the situation of one Sarmatian daughter from a village to the east, the village elders struck a bargain with the Romans that this one daughter would serve the Empire, instead of their only young son.
Unexpectedly, the Romans agreed, and took the daughter, and pledged that she would return in fifteen years.
But she would serve a prolonged era...
