Preface
Louis motioned toward Drogo. He wagged a frail, weak, old finger at his half-brother to come near.
"Please," begged Drogo, "do not tell me that now is the time."
With a shallow sigh, Louis nodded in response.
Drogo came to his brother's side. The entire congregation watched as Drogo blessed the man, reciting prayers ensuring a quick passage to heaven. The priest stepped back, allowing his brother solace in his last moments. Suddenly, Louis' eyes opened wide, and he turned his neck upwards, as if straining to reach the afterlife. He let out a light cackle, knowing he had bested Satan. During his last seconds, he exclaimed, "Huz, huz!", spiting the Devil as his soul left the Earth. The entire room was silent.
Finally, after minutes of quiet mourning, Drogo spoke up. "Send a letter to Poiters," he commanded. "Tell them the Emperor is dead."

Spoiler Series 1 :

We, the peoples of Germania, have long taken enough ridicule. Called "barbaric" by the likes of Caesar, the insults would not cease for centuries. It was considered a horrible fate, at least if you were a Roman, to be born to Germanic parents. But the line must be drawn here. Here and no further. No longer will we cower under fear of lies and slander of our ancestry. No. This is when we truly become proud of our heritage. People of Germany, you are called today to flock under one banner. You are called to unite together. We will not tolerate the days in which we were divided, easily poked by the might of Rome. Today is the birth of a new power, one that will come to rival (and surpass) the power of Rome itself. Remember this day, my brothers, for this will be a day looked upon with great pride by posterity. This is the beginning of an era.
-Otto I, First German King
