In the twilight of ancient mythology, when the gods still walked the earth and humanity danced on the thin edge between barbarism and civilisation, stood the city of Sparta. Located in the heart of the Peloponnesian peninsula, it was a city of warriors and philosophers, of craftsmen and peasants. A place of contrasts, where iron and fire combined with wisdom and ingenuity to create a unique world. This is a story of Sparta and its heroes. A story of battles and intrigue, of love and sacrifice. A story of heroism and betrayal, of gods and mortals. But above all, this is a story of how courage, wisdom and fortitude can overcome the greatest challenges. Welcome to Sparta, the city where heroes are born and legends come to life.
