A little backstory:

The mod's very essence is the legacy of, well... Freyr, who is a Varangian bodyguard for the Eastern Roman Emperor. Freyr finds himself in a precarious position. The Eastern Roman Empire has just finished a brutal civil war, which forced the Empire to give up vast territories. The Eastern Roman Emperor was one of the worst emperors in the history of the Empire's existence. He was cruel, brutal, and wildly unpopular among the people.

After some time, Freyr became more and more interested in Greco-Roman culture and tradition. He even participated in many of these traditions. He grew to love these people, cherish them. He wanted to protect them, even more than the Emperor whom he was hired to protect. The Emperor abused many people whom Freyr saw as friends. It all eventually boiled over when the Emperor got mad at a servant and began to punish her, even ordered her execution.

When Freyr saw this, he became so enraged that he killed the Emperor. When the deed was done and Freyr came to his senses, he knew the magnitude of his action. There was no claimant to the throne, no heir, no brother, no sister, or cousin. The stability and security of the Empire were in jeopardy. He knew he had to do something, so he took the mantle, proclaimed himself the Emperor of the Romans.
