Umamusume: Imperator

Summary:

Umamusume. They are born to run. Indeed it was and always be their purpose. Many inherit names from another world— while some, are just there.

In the modern world; they race, sing, and dance. But has this always been the case? This fic will narrate the hypothetical history and stories (some, completely fictional to formulate a more engaging story) of Umamusume long since before the modern times, and especially their vital role in something that has stuck with humanity since records stated: Warfare.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: Intermission.

Chapter Text

This work of literature, just as the title had said about. Will be dedicated to narrating role of Umamusume in times ancient as a cavalry force, from which if we dive a little into, was something that has so decisively decided many outcomes of wars and battles: the Charge of Vienna, the Mongol Invasion, etc. And the technologies of warfare that surrounded them: Cataphracts, War Chariots, Mounted Archers/Gunners, Shock Cavalry, Skirmishers, etc. And the possibility of adapting foot infantry tactics now that they aren't tied to being just a mere mount. Take Greeks with their Phalanxes, the Roman legion with their Maniples, Square formations, and many more.

This fic will narrate the individual stories of Umamusumes from different eras that may partake in the dynamic world of human warfare, while also mentioning famous cavalry companies and whatnot.

Notes:

So, ts is something that had been in my mind since I started playing the game. Being a fan of, well, warfare and the Total War franchise (from which I got the name). This concept was and is a thing that intrigued my interest in the possibility of what many people wouldn't even cross their minds about. Chapter releases will be irregular, as I got other projects to do and whatnot. Stay tuned.
