The Spartan’s Journey

5

300 BC - ANCIENT GREECE

Abandoned in the ancient City of Sparta as a child, the unnamed Spartan

was raised in the training camps of the warrior people.

Befriended by the twins; Castor and Pollux; and led by the great King

Leonidas, the Spartan, quickly proves himself worthy of his allies as a true

warrior and a fearless hero.

A hero that his homeland desperately needs.

Only the City of Sparta remains defiant against the Roman Empire's

merciless invasion of the free world.

The Spartan's desire to save his home will take him on a journey to find

the answers to his birth, his past, and his destiny. Visited by Greek Gods he

discovers the true power within him. He is

commanded to fight the invading Roman

forces and, guided by the Gods, he

embarks on an epic quest that takes

him across many lands, right to the

heart of the Roman Empire.

This is the journey of the Spartan

– born a warrior, destined to

become a Legend.
