Hyperborea had been divided into two main conflicts, north and south. In the south the Roman Empire and the May'a Alliance were fighting against the Jaguar states and the Zapotec Alliance. In the North the Roman Empire and the United Tribes were facing off not only against the Cimbrians but also against the Japanese who were coming in by rail from across the continent. Travelling that distance was long but the Romans were in no need for another enemy.
