Cities
The Cities
Six cities stand open. Each rises as the story moves through them.
The Royal Capital
CIRTA
The capital of Massinissa's kingdom, perched on a plateau in modern Constantine, Algeria. Cirta held the royal treasury, the royal court, and the strategic high ground of eastern Numidia.
The Metropolis
CARTHAGE
The wealthiest city in the western Mediterranean. Its harbors held hundreds of warships; its walls enclosed a population larger than Rome's. Carthage was the rival that defined Rome's century.
The City on the Tiber
Rome
Hannibal's Iberian Capital
Carthago Nova
The Ancient Ally
Utica
The Spark
Saguntum

Locations
Where the story stands — three places on the map.
The Crossing
The Alps
The wall of mountains that stood between Hannibal and Rome. In 218 BCE he led his army — Numidian cavalry, Iberian infantry, and war elephants — across the Alps in winter, descending into Italy from a direction Rome thought impossible.
The Royal Capital
Cirta
The capital of Massinissa's kingdom, perched on a plateau in modern Constantine, Algeria. Cirta held the royal treasury, the royal court, and the strategic high ground of eastern Numidia.

Four Primary Doors
The Doors
Four ways into the world around the books.
What Membership Opens
The World Around the Books.
Your membership doesn't unlock the story.
The books do.
It unlocks the world around it.
First Access
Members see it first.
Priority access to what BROWNBLOODS releases next — where appropriate. Members first. Public later.
The Archive
The archive moves through time.
BROWNBLOODS does not arrive all at once.
As the books move through history, Membership moves with them.
New worlds open. New evidence appears. New films premiere. New scores emerge.
Members experience that evolution as it happens.
