Khosrau had an opportunity his father never had: peace. With it, he set about launching a golden age for Iran.

The Christmas Truce is one of the most poignant events of the First World War: a time when men rose above the madness of the conflict and (for just a moment) saw each other as fellow humans. How did it happen?

Hi everyone! Some of you may have seen that I was originally planning to do Orpheus as the first Extra Mythology but I wasn't happy with how it was turning out so I decided to try my hand at Prometheus (to tie in with Extra Sci Fi ; ) and Perseus (because I've always thought his story was ridiculous and fun).
Disaster had struck Iran. The power of the shah seemed in peril. Yet somehow this turbulent age gave rise to Khosrau Anushirawan, one of the greatest shahs of the Middle Ages. How did it all begin?

The German states now look to Prussia for leadership... but France looks upon them with envy. For Bismarck, that's an opportunity. PLUS! Please welcome our newest artist, Nick DeWitt!
