– Did we just lose an entire Legion? Have we just lost 5000 strong? Some of our most experienced soldiers in the North?
– Yes.
– How is this even possible? This was supposed to be simple? Are you telling me that an entire, fully equipped Roman Legion just disappeared? The entire Legion, like in everyone? And that no one returned? Not even a cook, tailor or a blacksmith? Not even a donkey returned???!!!
– Proctor. I’m sorry to inform you that literally no one returned. Not even a single stray horse.
– And where is the location of the Eagle*? Where is the standard of the Legion? Where is the very symbol of our might; that is Rome? Where is the Golden Eagle?!!
– Proctor. It is lost…
That is your family’s name doomed. Forever, until you recuperate the symbol and restore your family’s name. You are doomed for an eternity in all the stories and in all the books. For ever. E.Snowden and Patria (for the record what E.Snowden did was beyond a patriotic act)?
* It is not the right one. I will find it, I think it was the 5th or 7th Legion that where lost in the north… and that they lost the Eagle (representing Rome and ultimate power). No one returned with the Eagle and after that fact Hadrian decided to build a wall: Vallum Aelium.
~ The Roman Empire (The World) ends here. Beyond this wall? There is nothing. If you venture beyond these walls (into the North ((w)hinterland), then none can help you.
~ I’m not going to be the one responsible for seeing our army or empire defeated, ever. Build a wall.
There are parts reaming of the wall until this day and I will see/touch them some day. It’s North of Londinium, as it where/is.

Hadrian’s Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium),
Construction started in AD 122. It needs rebuilding…
