Dawn of Man

Charles the Great, first Emperor since the Fall of Rome, fathered a kingdom that encompassed France, Germany, Italy and much of Eastern Europe. Legends of your conquests are pervasive throughout history, and you are without no doubts one of the greatest figureheads of history. The world has known you as both a highly religious man and a philanthropist. You often built friendly relationships with other countries, such as Egypt and India, so that you could later send money in an effort to assist struggling Christians in those regions. Although much more of a conqueror than an economic or social reformer, you have never forgotten about the poor and sick in your kingdom. Despite being unable to write well yourself, you had a vast love of literature and education. Due to your conquests contacts with many different cultures and learning institutions, your era is became known as the Carolingian Renaissance, with a blossoming of the arts and sciences.

Great father of Europe, the one who rebuilt an empire of western Europe, almighty ruler and wise man, the world needs you once more. You can forge a new legacy in this miserable world, fulfill the empty pages with glorious deeds and epic battles. Shall you once more bring the light to the ones lost in the shadow? Will you create a civilization that will stand the very last star on the sky?
