Empire of Cruxix - 100 BCE<br/><br/>The empire is currently in turmoil. The elected emperor, Decimus, recently fell from illness. Now, members of the Senate are vying for the people's support in the coming election. Political intrigue, debate, and the tangled web of relationships and alliances. All of this and more in "Turmoil in Cruxix."<br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>The Senate, the seat of power in Cruxix. In his personal office, Gallus Maximus was figuring out his speech for the upcoming debate with his opponent. He shoved his speech in his pocket once he was finished, adjusting his tunic. Gallus was a friendly face, but deep inside, he was an evil, manipulative man who held nothing in his heart but lust for the emperor's throne. In fact, many have accused him of murdering the emperor himself. He was the only one with the motive and opportunity to do so; since he and the emperor had been close friends since childhood. But gossip aside, he had very neutral support from the population. That was fine with him to start out with. At least he wasn't universally despised.
