[b]Governor Primus Stertinius Lucius
Varectian Province of Delos, Late Spring, 91 B.C.
[/B]

Sat atop his horse, a fine prized stallion by the name of Agilis hailing from the southern lands of the Mayyad. The Proconsul Primus Stertinius Lucius, secure within a saddle with one hand absently resting upon the beast's flank, the other holding tightly the reigns as he swept his gaze over the hillocks and plains of Delos before him. The rattle and clatter of Varectian soldiers following him along the cobblestone road, each bearing their packs and large round shields of an Auxilia as the troop marched along the worn path with the Proconsul at the forefront. This was his duty, aside from managing both the financial and judicial duties of the province. To maintain that ever elusive ideal of peace, so that the bureaucrats of home could rest with an easy mind as he made the weekly journey around the province to ensure that ideal remained.

Primus was a man of the Legions, he had gained his recognition in a career of soldiering with the support of a prominent family name and titles, all of that support now stood leagues away while he had been delegated to a backdrop of a colony shared with the quaint people of Thecia. A powder keg of a province just waiting to burst into open rebellion, he knew that only the presence of the [i]Legion X Delosia[/i] kept the people in line here. Indeed, the 10th Legion saw itself regularly marching through the streets of the province capital to remind all who ruled here. He would be a liar if he said he did not harbour some resentment for the Senate, to govern this province was a punishment, nevertheless he would carry out his duty most diligently.  

As he gave a light kick to the flanks of the stead below him, the clink of horseshoes against cobble now sounding as the party once more moved on. The Governor was assailed by worried thoughts, news of the barbarian attacks in the far off region of Lacedonia had reached him and he feared the withdrawal of the X Legion for the province would most surely collapse without their standard! He knew he wouldn't voice these concerns however, to do so would not only place senatorial doubt on his own leadership but to risk slighting the Senate itself. He had to trust in the Senate that the Legion would remain. He needed time to bring the province under heel.
