You are SEMIRAMIS.

You are orphaned and raised on the outskirts of an empire, born into a life of toil and anonymity. But dreams of power and potential course through your veins.

You're strong, cunning and quick... and hungry for more.

If you want the world to know your name, you will have to chart your path from your village of shadows and dust to the hallowed halls your emperors walk.
