Description: Reign the Conqueror
Reign the Conqueror is a unique story based on the exploits of Alexander the Great, considered the greatest General in history. Based on a novel by Hiroshi Aramata, featuring character designs by Peter Chung (Aeon Flux), and with an all-star cast of talent and production, it presents the tales of the Macedonian Empire in a unique blend of ancient history and philosophy and high-tech science fiction.
The story begins with a prophecy, a prophecy that states the rise of a king named Alexander would give rise to the end of the world as we know it. Even as Alexander grows and begins to take his place in the world, forces from without begin to make moves to turn destiny their way. Aristotle, the Pythagoreans, and more all vie to gain control of an ancient piece of perfection called the "Platohedron". And all the while Alexander continues on his own journey, never fully realizing just what forces are coming into play on his life...nor just what kinds of forces he has the potential to unleash.
