Jihad-A Holy War

It is AD101 and Emperor Trajan is a worried man, his garrison at Napoca on the northern border of the province of Dacia is under threat from the local Sarmatians, who have sworn a holy war upon his people and your gods. Although it is a bleak and desolate place, it is strategically important to the Roman empire’s plans for continuing expansion into Sarmatia. Reports have come in of a night raid by these zealots which resulted in the deaths of your artisans who had just finished work on your residence and the temples to our gods so important to the people. You must protect the temples with your life, for there are no resources left to build more.

Your plight is dire as you are totally surrounded and Trajan’s armies are many miles away, although some of the local tribesmen have been bribed to act as lookouts for you, but beware they are treacherous if not watched very closely.

When he can spare the men from the battlefields of Decebalus, Trajan will come to your rescue and find a more peaceful province for you as a reward, but it will be many years before this is possible, unless you do an exemplary job and he may relent sooner.
