Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising brings the bold and dramatic world of ancient mythology alive online. As Rome grows into its role as a dynamic Republic, enemies arise from neighboring countries like Greece, Carthage, Gaul and other lands to challenge her dominance. None, however, compare to the threat brought by the return of the ancient Telchine gods, once banished from Rome by the Olympian gods. Jealous of their Olympian brethren, the Telchine gods have returned to stake a claim on the new found wealth of this rising civilization by wresting control over those who conquered them. Embark on a heroic journey to save Rome and the Olympian Gods. Align your passion with the powers of the ancient Gods of Rome. Take on epic quests to earn favor with your god. As your heroic prowess grows, your god alliance rewards you with the ability to command the unequaled powers of the gods and your own squad. The fate of a nation hangs in the balance, and only a true covenant of gods and heroes will save Rome. Are you ready to pledge your allegiance?
