For years the rapacious legions of Raskya killed and looted their way across the land, seeking glory and the addition of new territory to their empire in the south. At last the war seemed to be over, with Dagara conquered and made into a Raskyan province. In truth, it was only the setup for the second and final climax of bloodshed. A traitorous Raskyan general has seized the city and plans to use it and its population as his shield to draw his rival into a final battle against him. That rival and his thousands of bloodthirsty legionaries wait outside the city walls, hammering them with siege engines and delightfully counting the days until they can kill and enslave everyone inside, citizen and soldier alike. Amidst all this, two lovers seek to reunite. A soldier outside the walls knows his beloved is held hostage within, and that if his side wins she will die horribly in the massacre that will surely follow. He seeks to save her above all else, even working to undermine his own side to increase her chances of survival. Within the city, she receives coded messages from him, as they coordinate a plan to reunite and escape from the bloodshed together. Viewing the siege from the changing perspective of both lovers, make decisions that will affect the outcome of the war, and whether or not you will have a future together. Or whether you can even survive. [From [Itch.io](https://basileusgames.itch.io/romance-of-raskya)] ## Characters ### Clodia In a royal system, there are always scores of minor nobles who make very few waves. Clodia is one of these, always staying out of notice, never getting caught up in the drama of the nobility. Instead, she’s dreamed of a peaceful and romantic life in a faraway land more than anything. When she met Valerius amidst the flames of war, it seemed as if that dream was going to come true. But now those flames have trapped her within Dagara, and only through her careful coordination with Valerius from the inside can she escape them and make her dream a reality.

That heart had a chance to break free a year ago, when he met and fell in love with the Dagaran noblewoman Clodia. Now, he stands outside the walls of Dagara, his love trapped within, desperately plotting to save her life before the Raskyan war machine kills everyone in the city.

She's never stayed in one place for very long, but in the course of her travels she found herself in Valerius's employ, and hasn’t left him since. As far as Valerius can tell, it seems that she stays around for the opportunity to tease him as much as for the gold he pays for her work. Now she serves as the go-between for Valerius and Clodia, posing as a slave to sneak his messages into the city for her.

With the war over, Sejanus seems to settle on a suicidal course of action: he takes his legions and reconquers Dagara for himself, essentially daring Sergius to come and get him. Now he waits in the Dagaran citadel, throwing lavish parties for the nobles, seemingly oblivious to the bloodthirsty army calling for his head.

Traditional to a fault, he worships the Ghosts of War, the spirits that Raskyans believe have dominion over all human combat and conflict. As such, when his former protege and rival Sejanus seemingly betrays Raskya by capturing the capital of Dagara himself, Sergius eagerly puts the city under siege, and can hardly contain his excitement to sacrifice everyone inside to the Ghosts.

As such, Clodia has always been envious of her friend's apparent freedom, and indeed it was Portia who opened Clodia's mind to the possibilities of a different life, one far away in some land of sensual beauty. Now with the city under siege, Portia has gone missing, and there's no telling whether Clodia will ever see her best friend ever again...
