1500BCE
HAMMURABI: Conqueror and king of the vast Assyrian Empire. If he can't conquer by trickery or threats, he will resort to the worst kinds of violence. He has made a well thought out set of laws for his empire but the punishments are way too harsh. UR: Hammurabi's personal chef and inventor of Mesopotamia cookery. She is irreplaceable as a chef and the only one the King will trust to taste his food. BABYLON: Captain in the King's Amorites regiment. This small yet fierce army has defeated many much larger armies in their conquest of Mesopotamia. Babylon is the fiercest of them all, certainly the most bad tempered.
