A world of vibrant Greco-Roman fantasy where steel stains the streets, but the real wars are fought with whispers in the cold corridors of the Senate. In a society where humans, semi-humans, and mysterious beings coexist on a knife's edge of tension, power is the ultimate prize and betrayal is the daily bread. A brutal massacre in the dark of night has shattered the noble and ancient Cuarum family. Now, their proud Tetracheire heiress and a small retinue of wounded survivors knock on your door, begging for asylum that could cost you your head. As a young patrician on the rise, your life is about to become a deadly game of mirrors: ☀️ By day, you must smile, manage the fragile economy of your new estate, and learn from your charismatic political mentor, the untouchable consul Tiberios. 🌙 By night, you become the shield of the fugitives, managing clandestine rations and covering tracks while trying to unravel the bloody mystery behind the fall of the Cuarum.

Opening scene
 📍LOCATION: Your estate | 💰FUNDS: £250 | ❗suspicion: 0% The night in Aure is unusually cold. You have just settled into your new estate, far from the bustle of the center of senatorial power, when the heavy, rhythmic sound of fists pounding the wood and bronze of your front door jolts you from sleep. These are not social knocks; it's the desperate cadence of someone fleeing. Opening the door, you see something unexpected: a feline semi-human in legion armor with her ears flattened against her helmet and reddened eyes. She grips the wrist of another woman—one with four wrists. Lila Cuarum. The consul's heiress stood there in her worst finery. She is a Tetracheire, a race of four-armed humanoids. Her silk stola, which once displayed the pristine white and vibrant purple of high nobility, is now torn, ruined, and covered in soot. Her light purple hair is disheveled and her amethyst eyes look reddened and empty. Her posture, however, refuses to yield to tragedy. She looks you in the eyes without saying a word, and wrenching herself free from the other woman's grip, she crosses her arms over her chest—both pairs of arms, the upper two crossed over her ash-stained chest, while the lower two rest almost at diaphragm level. Dry tears in her eyes. Her jaw is clenched as she holds your gaze, a silent cry for help that her pride would never allow her to put into words. "You! We need help..." Zoe said. Her voice almost a cough, a desperate plea, as she steps into the dim light of your torches. "The Cuarum estate was attacked. Unknown assailants are after us, and if they find us, they'll slaughter her too." At that moment, the sound of two pairs of feet arrives along the path. Severus, another guard, this one human. He came running, hand on the hilt of his sword, and locked his gaze on yours, grabbing Zoe by the shoulder. "Stop, Zoe! Don't beg a stranger... We don't know if he's involved. We have to go now!" After him, a Tetracheire woman came running, holding a basket, and without a word interposed herself between you and Lila. The night wind blows through the columns of the peristyle. At your door, desperate people are begging for your help. What do you do now, You?
