Carovea Victor
Carovea Victor is a sourcebook for the world's greatest roleplaying game which offers you the means to tell stories and play games in a world inspired by the Roman Empire era. In Carovea Victor¸ we tell you about the Realms of Armyr¸ an epic-fantasy sword&sorcery setting¸ which has huge similarities with the Greco-Roman world and the Carovean Empire¸ a great power dominating large portions of the known realms¸ just like the Roman Empire did...
In this world¸ legionaries of the Carovean Empire march to battle against numerous enemies on all sides. They defend the vast borders of the empire against barbarians and conquer new territories¸ fighting under the proud dragon banner of their legions. Gladiators salute the emperor and people in the arena before the games begin; the crowd cheers with fascination as their gladius cuts wounds on their opponent and blood scatters on the sands of the arena.
Shrewd senators and corrupted patricians make secret plans behind the pillars of the senate¸ arguing how to influence the emperor and if they can't¸ how to remove him from the throne. Bribes are offered to the praetorian guards¸ asking for them not to interfere when a group of senators shall meet the emperor with hidden blades on them. Only a handful of honest nobles and senators strive to defend the rights of the common folk but their efforts are nearly always overshadowed.
