Thucydides’ words serve as the perfect epigram to communicate the theme and intent behind the story of Rokan. Picture a society based in part on the rivalry between Athens and Sparta but reimagined in perfect collaborative harmony. The Older Brothers devote their time and lives to magical/religious revelations while The Younger Brothers, a corresponding caste of elite warriors and austere manual laborers, protect them and safeguard their discoveries.
