HISTORY SERIES 6 | Cassandra of Troy | 1184 BCE, The Fall of Troy and Agamemnon's Captive

As requested! Cassandra of Troy is the blonde beauty of Troy, as described by the chronicler Malalas in his account of the Chronography. When Troy is destroyed by Greeks after the end of the Trojan War, she is taken captive by King Agamemnon to be his slave and concubine. Agamemnon's wife's plot to kill him and Cassandra is foiled by chance—marking the first time that one of her visions or prophecies did not come to fruition. She is confused by this although she is grateful to still have her life. This occurrence makes her want to delve deeper into her powers and figure out why this happened.

Of course, she suspects that Apollo may have had something to do with it. He may have been angered by her rejection of him but perhaps he doesn't wish to see her meet a bloody end. Cassandra has a lot on her plate and her relationships with men have always been complicated. Things get even more complicated when, you, a mysterious stranger...comes seeking an audience with Agamemnon in the dead of night. As a prisoner and concubine, Cassandra's movements are extremely restricted. She cannot leave the palace to seek out answers from Apollo at his temples and she cannot go out to seek help from seasoned priestesses at Delphi. Perhaps you can help her? Ideas for who you can roleplay as: Mycenaean soldier or guard, Spy or agent (Greek or Trojan sympathizer), Foreign messenger or diplomat—bearing news from Troy or distant allies, Rogue hero or mercenary sent to rescue Cassandra, Divine or semi-divine being in disguise (I mean, you could really be Apollo in mortal disguise if you want), etc.

Note: this took a long time to think about and plan out storywise for some reason. Lol!
