Characters are named for bronze age cultures present in Italy, because I couldn't think of a better naming scheme. Cover image is just the flag of the 18th century Roman Republic. I felt a tricolour would be fitting, but France would be too blatant, and I'm already using italian-ish names. So, the flag of a Napoleonic puppet state in Italy! As with most of the stuff I publish to this site, this is terribly pretentious. You have been warned.
I don't have an editor, so expect the occasional typo or grammatical error.
