The Road North (First Step‪)‬

In 325 BC Roma is forcing a road by arms through Central Valley to their northern port Quid. The Emperor is using the excuse to expand the Empire into the lands east of Central Valley by war if necessary. The eastern lands are being blocked to the Emperor by the placing of cables in the large rivers. The forests are to thick for a land army.
A rebellion in the new lands complicates matters, but it is quickly put down.
The booty collected after the fight for the road provides a special sword. The sword becomes as important as the eastern lands. The Emperor wishes both the sword and lands. A woman appears in Central Valley by boat and demands her sword back. She appears to be dripping blood from her hands and mouth.
The Vice Consul of the Empire is sent north to handle the matter. The woman appears to know their every move before they make it. Will she get her sword back without a fight?
