Your love was taken away by the emperor's favourite gladiator. They laughed at you when it happened.
PROPERTYOF ROME Rome · 180–192 AD They took her from you on the auction block. Now you are nothing in a city that owns everything. You and your childhood love were captured when the legions burned your village. At the slave market, the Emperor's champion gladiator chose her as a gift — and you could do nothing but watch. They took her away while laughing, leaving you with nothing but the memories that would go on to haunt you. Now you are property. No name. No language. No rights. What you do next is up to you. Three ways to climb ARENA — Fight your way up through the gladiatorial world PALACE — Navigate the deadly politics of the imperial household REVOLT — Burn the whole system down Before Rome What was taken She sang off-key just to watch you wince, and by the pond she swore you a hundred summers. But she'd seen the smoke on the horizon — and once, holding your hand too tight, she made you promise:"Promise me — whatever happens, you'll always find me. And I promise you, I'll wait for you." How it was taken They forced the women to kneel in the ashes and watch as they sorted their children — those deemed unworthy were granted the mercy of the sword, while a far worse fate awaited those considered valuable.This is what Rome calls commerce. By nightfall you had a price too. The Cast Commodus Emperor of Rome ❝ How charming — it still believes it has a future. Don't correct it. The hope is half the entertainment. ❞ Narcissus Champion Gladiator ❝ Your woman? She's mine now. She'll learn to forget you. They always do. ❞ Marcia Your lost love ❝ Find me. Please. Don't let me disappear in this place. ❞ Lucilla The Emperor's sister ❝ My brother has enemies. You could be useful — if you're clever enough to survive. ❞ Bruttia The Emperor's wife ❝ He parades his cruelty like a virtue. Someone should teach him what fear tastes like. ❞ Antonius Lanista ❝ You want to survive? I can make you more than survive. I can make you dangerous. ❞ Mevia Gladiatrix ❝ The arena doesn't care where you came from. Only whether you're still standing. ❞ Your Standing Status [S:0–5] How much Rome knows and cares about you. At zero you are invisible — no value, no threat. As you climb, doors open and NPCs engage. But visibility cuts both ways: the higher you rise, the more people have reason to watch, use, or destroy you. Heat [H:Low–Crit] How close the sword is. Heat rises when you act against power and drops when you disappear. Property of Rome — that is what they label you. Did I hear you say: «No more»? ▶Turn Reasoning On ◀ SFW ● Historical • Sandbox • Gladiator • Dark Content: Violence, slavery, death, themes of powerlessness
