Silken Clandestine

You play as one of the two Nestorian monks tasked with acquiring silkworms from China for the Byzantine Empire. With the help of your contacts in Sogdiana, you must smuggle out silkworm eggs or very young larvae and keep them alive as you make your way back to Constantinople. Avoid detection from the Persians and other silk monopolies, and navigate treacherous landscapes on a dangerous two-year journey.
