Ave, traveler, and welcome to the southern reaches of the Roman Republic. We are the Scipii, a branch of the gens Cornelia who is the most powerful family of the ancient Republic, with more of our scions rising to rule as consul than any other family. We have taken blue as our faction color, for the color of the sea we must traverse to reach the heartland of our chosen foe- the Carthaginians. Blue is also the color of loyalty, and we Cornelii Scipones are the most loyal of all factions, and demand the same of our soldiers.
