The War of the Successors

In 323 BC, Alexander the Great, conqueror of the known world, left his final words in Babylon: “To the strongest.”

He named no successor.

The empire fractured. The regent with the signet ring, the taciturn governor of Egypt, the one-eyed veteran warlord, the secretary of humble birth... Seven generals who had once fought shoulder to shoulder drew their swords before Alexander's coffin.

This was a war of kings that lasted forty years.

Some shed their last drop of blood for loyalty. Some sacrificed a hundred thousand soldiers to ambition. Some wagered everything at the table of power, only to become specks of dust on the pages of history.

And an “outsider” with no Macedonian blood would write the most tragic heroic saga in this age of chaos.

His name was Eumenes.
