Fallen Eagle
>strong>The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. >/strong>
Nearly fifteen hundred years after its founding, the greatest empire the world has known has ceased to exist, swallowed whole by the Great Ottoman tide. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, its last rump states stand on the brink of collapse. Their fall will mark the end of any remnant of Roman rule.
Nestled in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to a desperate existence, living in the shadow of Byzantium's destroyers. Its fall is not a possibility; it is a historical certainty>sup>>/sup>>sup>>/sup>>sup>>/sup>.
Dr. Nikos Karagiannis is a History professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house with a prophetic name, but little prospects. Nikos has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, the shifting alliances, and the military tactics that will lead this land to ruin.
"The city is fallen and I am still alive."
– Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine Emperor.

>b>Historical Kingdom-Building:>/b> A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where logistics are king, supply lines are lifelines, and battles are won with strategy, not superpowers.
>b>A Brutally Realistic World:>/b> The protagonist is not the center of the universe. Allies and antagonists have their own ambitions and plans, and will act accordingly.
>b>Meaningful Character Arcs:>/b> A story where characters are forged and broken by the crucible of war and politics. Dramatic and tense character interplay abounds, and no one is safe. You have been warned.
