The Dacian War.
An offensive led across the Danube since last year has raged on. Tapae and Adamclisi are firmly under the belt of Marcus Valerius, and the Roman conquest pushes on like a rolling tsunami over the lands. The lands of Dacia were always on Rome's agenda, even since before the Empire fully established itself; the Battle of Histria had been seldom forgotten by emperors long before Marcus, and, now, with the ancestors and Gods on his side, Dacia would oppose Rome no longer.
Despite the hunger of Rome... not all are in favour of the war. Dacian gold cannot bring back fallen men, lives slashed short on the front lines. With Dacia's strong allies in the north and the withdrawing of troops by Marcus, the war has rocked the Empire on its heels. Had the Sarmatian Roxolani bested him? Did he have a trick up his tunica? And what of the Senate? Was this an act blessed by them?
On everyone's lips, one question: in the face of bleak war, what is the fate of the Empire?
Hello everyone! I am pleased to officially announce our commencing event of Imperium; the Dacian war! This is not an activity check, but more of a background to the current sociopolitical climate of Rome at the time. This event is based on the real Dacian war of the time, fought in the north of the Roman Empire (around modern-day Romania).
As this is a relatively relaxed event, this only has implications for your character if you think it is relevant to their storyline! Prompts for your characters are available in the Discord server!
I am excited to see how characters and the plot progresses through this development!

Twenty-three years on from the tragedy of the eruption at Pompeii, at the turn of the second century, the Dacian war rages on in the North. Despite the past turmoil suffered... matters in the Roman Empire have settled, for the most part. Life in Rome has its challenges, but also its benefits, and only the Parcae can foresee what may befall the great Empire of Rome...
Welcome to Imperium, an 18+ SFW text-based, improv-focused roleplaying group, set loosely in the heart of the Roman Empire, in 102 AD. While things, historically, are calm, there is an endless opportunity for ill portents and great boons to explore, offering a wide range of tone for character development within the historical setting!
While we are an appless server, we are generally looking for semi-literate writers -- you will join as a spectator, and then be approved by the mods as a participant later after you've settled in. The mods are always happy to help build and workshop OCs to fit within the environment, and approval should be a relatively quick process!
For those worried about a lack of historical knowledge, fear not; we have plenty of resources available within the server to get you up to speed on the history we have chosen to reference for our setting! Additionally, Imperium is a diversion of the course of history, with an entirely different emperor, so historical references are only relevant insofar as what characters would know of the past.
If you are interested in joining the discord server, please send a message to the blog to get an invite link! If you have any queries, please send them to the blog, and we will get back to you ASAP!
The world frays at the edges;
unraveling in ways too strange to fully comprehend.
Villages are swept up into silence, and like a whispered rumour, are said to never have existed at all. Memories fall like so much sand through one's grasp, leaving naught behind but the nagging sense of something forgotten and gone. Even the gods seem fractured, their presence flickering in the shadow of something far greater. And far more broken.
Scattered threads of what was are all that remain, and the factions move to recover them. Each fragment-a decision, each choice a weight. What will be remembered, and what must be severed to preserve what little stability remains? Your answers shape more than the future; they will define what is real.
This absolutely amazing triple-threat faction quest piece by astro537 highlights the creativity of our community! While canon characters aren't allowed, our playerbase is made up primarily of non-fandom ocs, and we encourage having at least one non-fandom oc, we absolutely welcome your fandom creations in with the same open arms given to every original work!
Our players did a great job at pest control. So have a drink on us.
For anyone interested in horror fantasy, it's never too late to join in, especially now that the thread of a new plotline begins to unravel!

Sound interesting? Check out the rules below the cut! Alongside our Invite Link.
1. Be kind to one another please, this is meant to be fun. If you have an issue with another member, block em and move on. If someone blocks you please do not attempt to circumvent the block in any way.
2. If you have a problem, @ the mod role.
3. This is an 18+ server, do not lie about your age, please join us when you are an adult.
4. This setting has many dark things in it, and many dark topics will be explored. We do not have a blacklist of topics and we will never maintain one partially because I have memory issues and partially because I personally do not think they enhance servers in any way. If a topic comes up that you do not like, please quietly remove yourself from the conversation and join back in once the topic has passed, you do not need to announce you have left a conversation.
If you cannot handle dark topics being explored in a fictional setting this is probably not the ARPG for you, while I do not allow blatant uncensored sexual NSFW in the server in public roleplays things of various NSFW natures may be touched on, dark topics regarding sexuality, violence, toxic or unhealthy relationships both romantic and non, etc. In essence, the dark content here can be considered on level with media such as Berserk or Game of Thrones.
5. I will put TWs on plots regarding dark content, you will never be blindsided by things in plots if they fall under a common TW, if you need to know if a specific or unusual thing is touched on, ask me!
6. I do not police the relationships between people's OCs, what you do with your OCs, and what their relationships are is not my business or anyone but those OCs players, do not 'tattle' about what two players are doing with their characters to me. The answer will always be 'What happens between two fictional characters isn't my business if the players are consenting'
7. While I do not police OC relationships, but please keep sexual NSFW in DMs. Private room threads may go as far as a Fade to Black, but I don't want to be forced to moderate sexually explicit NSFW and I don't want my mods to have to. Violent NSFW or other NSFW may remain in the server.
8. If you read the rules pop a 🌹 emote into welcome to get your entry role.
9. Please do not resell items you received for free for real world currency, you may trade items for designs, other items, slots, etc, but not real currency.
7. Character references may have tasteful nudity.
8. If a mod asks you to drop a topic, please drop it immediately. Arguing about it will earn you a ban, I run this for fun, it's not a second job to me and I won't let it become one.
9. If you need help or don't understand something please let me and my team help you, we want you to have fun too, we don't bite and we aren't mean, just reach out.
10. No venting, we do not have a vent chat and never will.
11. Please keep selfies behind censors or censored links! Weird rule I know, I promise there's a reason for it though. You can leave pet pics or food pics uncensored however, no worries.
DISCLAIMER
This is, first and foremost, a horror game with fantasy elements. The world is careless towards the troubles of its denizens at best and outright cruel at its worst, and its worst is its most common. While there are NPCs, plots, and overall moments that cut through the gloom as sparks of light, you should enter knowing that this is a Game that may be emotionally taxing if you are not the kind of person who likes near-relentless downers or who may be personally effected by bad things happening to your characters, whether physical, mental, or emotional. This is a game meant to be fun to people who derive enjoyment from putting their OCs through a horrific wringer and who delight in watching their characters suffer.
Which is not to say fun, funny, whimsical, beautiful things do not happen, that beautiful relationships don't blossom, and that close and tender moments between one's character and other characters, NPCs, or the world at large, do not happen, they absolutely do, but they are not the theme and are not constant, breathing room is often little and far between.
To use a TTRPG for example, many multiverse fantasy roleplays are a lot like DND, they're a fun power fantasy romp where the hero will almost always win in the end, where you can overcome any and every obstacle with self belief and friendship, where the Gods are on your side and if they aren't will surely be struck down, most games end with being paraded through the streets showered in gold, orphans find their parents miraculously alive or themselves miraculously adopted, and light always overpowers shadow.
P&P then is more like Trophy Dark, a grim, despairing, 'play to lose' game where the expected end goal is that the player will at best die, and at worst become something terrible and they will suffer and struggle all the way from the beginning, and where most of the light is just the end of an anglerfish's lure, a promise that only really resolves in more pain and devourment.
Further Tone examples:
Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Berserk, When the Wind Blows, Plague Dogs, Watership Down if general Woundwort had Won, Undertale if it were the Genocide run every time forever, Neverending Story but it ends at the Swamp Scene, Shadow of the Colossus, Persona 3, Hollow Knight, Ori & The Blind Forest, Tale of Two Brothers, Dead by Daylight, Rainworld, The Road, Princess Mononoke, Pathologic, Fear & Hunger, Devilman Crybaby, Goodnight Punpun, Nier, Drakengard, Clannad After Story, What Remains of Edith Finch.
In essence, while I absolutely do not want to scare anyone off or make it sound worse than it is, I do want to keep people safe, if you don't find it fun to be cruel to your characters, if you have a hard time separating IC suffering from OOC suffering, you aren't going to enjoy your characters potentially being broken mentally|physically|emotionally, then I would encourage you to err on the side of caution and not join us for your own mental and emotional safety and wellbeing.
