Abstract

The night is dark. The clouds hide the moon. In a small, quiet town, every man has returned home and fallen into deep, dreamless sleep. Affairs lately have been uneventful, but the citizens are weary.

It is the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Domitian. Prosperity appears to settle over the lands, yet paranoia permeates beneath the peaceful surface. While the citizens sleep, a reign of terror steadily marches on.
