BYZANTINES

There is a City no one has seen.

Only its treasury rises over the plain, a coin as wide as the sun.

Every army that comes here swears to take it.

BYZANTINES

A riddle opens the gate. A toll raises the banner. Two thirds take the City. A third betrays it.

The Plain

Chapter I

The Gate

Without a riddle

Enter with a toll

Your general comes with his banner raised. The toll is his vote: a third goes into the Coin, two thirds to the one who wrote the war.

The Sieges

    The plain waits for the next banner.

    From within

    The Gates From Within

    You hold a third of the army. You can open the gates and take the whole treasury. Every banner you hold burns for it, and the City will remember your name in its chronicle.

    Until the gates open, every burned banner still counts. If the City falls first, they are lost for nothing.
