The folks over at Perpetual Entertainment have provided us with this introduction to the gloried city of Rome, a focal point in their upcoming MMORPG, Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising.
Roma is the center of the civilized world, the greatest metropolis known to mankind, the seat of the eminent Republic that is spreading law and order throughout the land. Its teeming streets, diverse multitudes, inspiring architecture, and stunning public artworks make it not only the Republic’s capital but also quite possibly its most impressive achievement.
It being such a big city, we will be covering the city of Roma in Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising™ (G&H) in three installments. This week, we’re focusing on the legendary founders of Roma, its many bustling marketplaces, and the various villages that have cropped up around the gates that allow entrance to the city.
Legends tell of the twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of Roma who were born of Mars, the mighty god of war, and Rhea Silva, a priestess of Vesta and daughter of King Numitor of Alba Longa. When King Numitor was deposed by his brother, Rhea and her sons were to be put to death.
