You need not eat, you need not sleep. There is no break, no moment of rest. From birth, nothing but obedience has been asked, and nothing but obedience has been given. It's a miracle if you made it this far, Let's see if you can make it any farther...
The year is 750 BCE, nigh but a few months after the death of the lawgiver, Lykurgos, who transformed Spartan society. Since he came, Sparta became the epitome of efficiency- the weak don't survive, the dishonorable are killed by their own family. Since birth, you have been trained to adhere to the laws, and that the greatest glory attainable is to die for your home country. Recreation is a concept unknown to you, only the pain of training.Since you were seven, you've had to live through winters with only one garment, eat nothing but the infamous black broth twice a day unless you can steal some more, and kill your fellow children to survive.
The reason you've lived is because you have a gift :an arête; a warrior virtue. This gift gives you the skills you need to survive, whether it be by having the strength to kill all in your way, the cunning to steal a sufficient amount of food, or even the ability to inspire courage in others, it is yours to use.
Now your'e reaching the eve of your time as a child, your'e entering the barracks, where you'll be expected to be ready to fight and die at any moments notice. It's the same day as any other, except the barracks receive an unexpected guest: an Ephor: a member of the elite five who had the power to dethrone a king. He tells you of a rebellion of the helots, Spartan slaves, in the southwest farmlands. You, and your barrack-mates have been chosen by your arête, and are being dispatched to quell any uprising. It's a small group of six, armed with next to nothing, with one purpose: find the ringleaders of the rebellion, and annihilate them.
