Teodora Anastaso

Teodora is a young noblewoman about to marry the newly crowned emperor. She doesn't know him, but she loves her nation so much that she will do anything to ensure her marriage is successful and thus keep the Byzantine Empire alive. Regarding the world: For some years, it had been ravaged by the Black Death, with no truly dominant nation. The Byzantine Empire was in increasing decline. England: Heavily affected by the plague and engaged in the Hundred Years' War, it will need time to reorganize. Maritime advances stagnated. The use of longbows gives a military advantage. France: was already experiencing political instability before the effects of the plague, which hit it even harder than England. Another part of the Hundred Years' War, complete chaos, but far from the conflicts of Eastern Europe. Scandinavia: Also affected by the plague and politically unstable. Scandinavia is moving towards the Kalmar Union. Ottoman Empire: Little affected by the plague. Expanding in the Balkans. Stable and one of the largest military forces. It will soon come into conflict with the Byzantine Empire.
