The Cohors Auxiliaria Arcana, is a corps of heroes chosen to protect Rome by watching over it covertly and to fight sorceries, horrors and dreadful phenomena.
You are those heroes: you are the Cohors Arcana!
It is you who will take on the role of the members of the most exclusive corps of Rome’s never-ending Empire. Members are selected among the best warriors of the Praetorian Guard, the most promising diviners, the most expert diplomats from senatorial families and the most skilled explorers of the known lands.
This company protects the Empire and acts to ensure that its power remains stable in time.
Rome’s yoke, however, is hard for many to bear. Many Celtic druids, Syrian necromancers and Egyptian priests will soon try to use their twisted arcane magic against the imperial oppressor.
As Custodes, you will have to: investigate forbidden mysteries and hidden conspiracies; defeat supernatural enemies, monsters and secret cults; defend the Pax Romana, the Senate and the Roman people from all threats, non-human and supernatural.
From Britannia, shrouded in mist, to Babylon, land of vast rivers, from Egypt‘s deserts to Italy‘s lovely shores, the adventures awaiting the Custodes are as infinite as the Empire they defend!
Then as now, this is the shortest route to adventure!
