To whom should I present this
little book so carefully polished
but to you, Cornelius, who have always
been so tolerant of my verses,
you
who of us all has dared
to take the whole of human history
as his field
- three doctoral and weighty volumes!
Accept my book, then, Cornelius
for what it’s worth,
and may the Muse herself
turn as tolerant an eye upon these songs
in days to come
- Catullus, 1st century BC

ZENOBIA
is the fantasy roleplaying game of adventure and magic in the
ancient world. It is a world where the deserts are home to fierce Saracen
tribes, lost cities, sphinx and scorpion-men. And where the cities are home
to scheming princes, bandit kings and sinister cults. Opportunity and
adventure are everywhere. There are centuries-old tombs to be robbed (if
their fiendish residents can be defeated), ancient underground complexes
full of obscure traps and breath-taking treasures that were left behind by the
gods, palaces owned by fabulously wealthy kings, and temples dedicated to
the gods - temples whose physical defences cannot compare with their
magical enchantments. From hundred-gated Thebes to the oasis city of
Palmyra, from the wealthy caravan city of Carrhae to the strict religious
city of dusty Hierosolyma, adventure awaits the brave, the foolhardy and
the greedy. And for those who fail, the Afterlife beckons, or worse -
perhaps slavery on a rowing bench in a Tyrian war galley, or a life in the
Turquoise mines of Sinai.
