“Before there was an England, there was Roma Mater…

Before King Arthur, there was –

The King of Ys

 

Ys: Magical city shrouded in legend, ruled by her Nine priestesses, her gods, and her King. This is the story of Gratillonius, a Roman Prefect who, in the service of his emperor, journeyed to Ys and was tricked by the Nine into defeating the King of Ys in armed combat, not realising that by doing so he would become the new king. He could not know that he would be the last of the Kings of Ys, doomed to betrayal by his daughter, and by his god. Yet even in the face of catastrophe this brave warrior-king who was once a Roman soldier would refuse to accept the defeat seemingly decreed by destiny. And if he could not save civilisation or even his kingdom, still he would shorten the time of darkness – and give rise to a legend that would ring down the corridors of time.”
