95 AD · The Roman Empire

The scroll has been opened. The visions are unleashed.

The Roman Empire rules the known world. But behind the thrones of men, older powers are moving. Yohanan, the last living witness of the Messiah, has been exiled to Patmos, burdened with visions no mortal mind was meant to carry. And no empire, seen or unseen, will remain unshaken.
