Aeterna: Curse of The First King

The Republic of Rome stands on the brink of annihilation.
It is the 1st century BC. Rome has risen to become the dominant power of the Mediterranean, while barbarian kingdoms rule the untamed lands beyond its borders and Greece remains a center of culture, knowledge, and ancient traditions. But beneath this fragile balance, an ancient evil stirs.
A demon long believed destroyed has returned from the shadows, spreading corruption across nations, awakening forgotten cults, and unleashing creatures that belong to myth rather than history itself.
As darkness spreads across the known world, only one hope remains: the Custodes.
Embark on an epic journey across a massive open world that spans the entire Roman Republic and beyond, from its thriving cities and frontier provinces to the wild barbarian lands of Europe. Explore bustling settlements, ancient temples, untamed forests, forgotten ruins, and places where history and myth become one. Travel through lands divided by politics, war, and ancient rivalries as kingdoms rise, alliances shift, and entire regions react to the choices you make. The world of Aeterna is alive. The people you help, the factions you support, and the enemies you create will shape the destiny of nations and determine the future of Rome itself.
