In the days of yore, when the realm of Britannia was but a fractured land, Aquae Sulis stood as a beacon of ancient power, its grandeur a testament to a bygone era.
Gone were the days of glory and prosperity, replaced instead by a grim reality of desolation and despair. The marble columns, once polished to a brilliant sheen, now were tangled up by vines and moss, their once-proud stature a shadow of its former self.
Saxon invaders laid siege to these sacred grounds, their relentless onslaught leaving scars upon the land and its people.
The temple, once a bastion of faith and reverence, now stood as a somber reminder of the town's old glory even with part of the roof collapsed.
As the winds of war swept across the land, Aquae Sulis found itself isolated and forgotten, its once-bustling streets now largely devoid of life and laughter. Where once merchants from distant lands bartered and traded, now only the echoes of their footsteps remained, lost amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization.
Yet, amidst the ruins and rubble, hope still lingered like a faint ember in the darkness. For within the heart of Aquae Sulis, there beat a resilience born of centuries of struggle and survival, a determination to rise from the ashes and reclaim its rightful place in the annals of history. A few people returned to their homes and tried to rebuild among the ruins. A few vagrants found opportunity to settle in the dust. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its dying light upon the land, the whispers of the past stirred, for in Aquae Sulis, the echoes of a forgotten era still lingered.
The Saxon invaders, emboldened by their recent conquests, had laid waste to the fertile lands surrounding Aquae Sulis, their presence casting a long shadow over the once-peaceful town.
In the aftermath of the Great War that had ravaged the land five years prior, Aquae Sulis found itself nestled amidst the uneasy borders of competing kingdoms, its once-grandeur now a relic amidst the tumultuous landscape. A city of the dead with a temple dedicated to healing.
