Having built the largest empire the world has ever seen, Alexander the Great died suddenly eighteen years ago. With no clear successor to the empire, his generals have since fought over the spoils, coming to be known as the 'Diadochi', or Successors.

The kings that once served Alexander have started to pass away, and with them so does the immediate claim to his empire. The men who have become known as 'the Successors' are now themselves being succeeded by their progeny, the 'Epigoni'.
As the successor of Alexander's empire we must consider if [ROOT.GetCountry.GetCapital.GetName] is really the best place from which to rule the Hellenistic world. Some would argue that there are other cities that would be better suited for such a task.
With his passing, the state that Antigonos built out of his Phrygian satrapy stands, for the first time, without its founder. His meteoric rise once attracted the envy and admiration of a generation, but the arrayed enmity of the other Diadochi tested the old general to the limit.
It seems our recent setbacks have caused even trusted nobles to reconsider their loyalties and plans for the future.
Antigonid setbacks have seen many of their most prominent servants defect to other causes, and in this vein the Attalid dynasty have arrived at our court.
After Demetrios smashed the Egyptian fleet at Salamis, he sent his most trusted officer, Aristodemos of Miletos with news of our great victory. Aristodemos hailed Antigonos as Basileus before the assembled crowd, and the people rejoiced. A coronation swiftly followed, and Antigonos shall now be known as Basileus to all and sundry.
Our spymaster enters the throne room and gestures that they would like a word with our ruler. They bring tidings from the Antigonids. The battle of Salamis was a disasterous loss for us, and most of our fleet has been sunk off the coast of Cyprus. Moreover, apparently Antigonos considers this such a feat that he has had himself crowned Basileus after his victory. Any pretence of an Argead line of succession has been officially cast aside, and the throne of Alexander's empire is ripe for the taking.

After the Heraklean effort that characterized the siege of Rhodes, the Antigonids turned their eyes west. The free city states of Greece were marshaled into a disciplined league, with the sole aim to pen in the ruthless Kassandros and the remnants of his forces still present in Macedon.
Our soldiers at the coast have begun reporting a great mass of Antigonid sails on the horizon. The Antigonids were bound to turn their attention to Macedon once again after the siege of Rhodes, and our generals urge us to act with haste.
In a shock turn of events, an Antigonid ambassador appeared under a flag of truce, at our borders.
In a most unusual move, the wastrel atop the Macedonian throne has offered up the city of Korinthos in return for a guaranteed period of truce.
The Antigonids in their hubris and folly, have chosen to once again resume hostilities with Kassandros of Macedon, in a vain attempt to prove dominance over those known as the Diadochi.
The long war rages on, and our generals assure us that it is time we rallied against the Antigonid threat.
Whether in defense of the tenuous pact between Macedon and Egypt, or for self serving means, we cannot tell - all we know is that Egypt has begun marching on the Antigonids from the south.
As the war in Greece rages, the dastardly Ptolemies make their move. An envoy from the kingdom of the sun and eagle arrives, with a tantalizing offer on the table.
In a shock turn of events, the Antigonids appear to be too preoccupied with Greece, to be able to refuse our outrageous demands.
The trade winds bring troubling news. The Antigonids have conceded many of their territories in Palestine and Syria to the Ptolemies; hoping, presumably, to secure a lengthy truce in which to finish off Kassandros and his allies in Macedon.
The Antigonids are embroiled in conflict in the west. This is perhaps the opportunity we have been looking for to finally end their pitiful dynasty. Our advisors recommend that we strike now, and invade Syria with all the might we can muster.
Our conflict in the west has not gone without notice in the Seleukid Empire. A messenger arrived today proclaiming that the Seleucids are ready to support those who would oppose our claim to Alexander's Empire and once more go to war in the East.
Suprisingly it seems the Antigonids have chosen to fold to our demands.
The Antigonids have conceded many of their territories in Syria and Mesopotamia to the Seleukid Empire; hoping, presumably, to stave off conflict in the east while they fight their war in the west.
The withdrawal of the Antigonids from Greece and them failing to live up to their claims of protecting the Free Greek cities against the other Diadochi, an increasing number within our own government are asking that we reconsider our own support for the Antigonid cause.
Our withdrawal from Greece has meant that many no longer consider us the protector of Free Greek cities that we make ourselves out to be.
The Antigonids have betrayed the dream of a free Greek world by going to war with [freedom_tag.GetName] rather than let them seek their own destiny as a free country.
The bickering of the other diadochi continues, throwing the Hellenic world into disarray once more.
With our attention divided between the other successors, Lysimachos' paltry satrapy has had the gall to demand that we transfer our lands in western Bithynia into their hands or face an invasion from the north.
To the surprise of everyone, our deal with the Antigonids has been accepted! They must be desperate indeed to give in so easily to our threats.
Murmurings in the agora have confirmed that the Antigonids, pressed on all sides, have abandoned their territories in north western Asia to Lysimachos' Thracian satrapy in exchange for a lengthy truce.
The feeble Seleukid dynasty cowers in the west, claiming nominal overlordship of great swathes of land.
Sensing a moment of weakness, the hordes of the [SCOPE.sC('target').GetAdjective] wastes have descended upon the Seleukid lands as a pack of wolves would savage a lamb.

The Wars of the Diadochi[edit | edit source]
id
The Wars of the Diadochi
As the Satrap of Phrygia, our ruler Antigonos was not part of most of the great campaigns of Alexander, but in the conflicts of the last decade he has risen to be the most powerful of the successors. Elsewhere, Seleukoks has succeeded in reclaiming Babylon and united the eastern empire, and the struggle for Greece continues against Kassandros in Macedon.
Our reputation as a protector of the free Greek cities has earned us many friends among the smaller Greek states, but otherwise we now stand alone...

The Wars of the Diadochi
Our ruler Kassandros of Macedon is the son of Antipatros, who was the most senior of Alexander's generals and, after the previous regent Perdikkas' murder, given the honor to guard Alexander's heirs until his son came of age. Upon his own father's death, Kassandros ousted his appointed successor Polyperchon with help from his father's enemies, ultimately killing Alexander's heirs and their mothers.
Antigonos is perhaps the most successful of the Diadochi, but success breeds enemies and he now stands alone - vulnerable. His meddling with the Greek states continues, and he has now wrested control of the strategic city of Chalkis.

Despite being the weakest of the diadochi states, the Thracian satrapy has surprisingly began an invasion of the Antigonid possessions in north western Asia, opening a northern front for the Antigonid Kingdom.<pr>Surely even Alexander is surprised at just how long his funeral games have lasted.

Freedom?
Our overlord has moved away from this region and surrendered their strongholds to an opposing Diadochi faction. An emissary arrived today from the court of the Antigonids, almost as if an afterthought in this general hasty retreat, to let us know that we will no longer enjoy any protection or be expected to pay any form of tribute.

A Chance to Strike
In truth, we are the only ones who dare to speak the truth: the legitimacy of Seleukid rule is over.
It is with interest, therefore, that one of our foraging parties limped home recently, having been routed by a border patrol accompanied by [SCOPE.sC('origin').GetRuler.GetName], the [SCOPE.sC('origin').GetRulerTitle] of the Seleukid Empire. With a hasty enough response, we may be able to deal a severe blow to them, though this would surely be cause for outright war.

Parthian Hordes
The attack came without warning, with [SCOPE.sC('origin').GetRulerTitle] [SCOPE.sChar('sel_rul').GetPraenomen] being amongst the first casualties, having been touring the border region when the attack came.
Seemingly not content with this apocalyptic turn of events, the nobles of the Seleukid realm have turned on one another, squabbling to determine a legitimate successor - will the titan of the east fall to ruin?
