Before oceans ran crimson, the empire’s ascent was already underway. br br This fan-crafted concept trailer envisions a raw prelude to Persia’s expansion and the brutal campaigns that paved the road to the Greco-Persian wars. Long before Xerxes crowned himself a deity, kings, rebels, and hardened fighters collided across deserts, mountain passes, and lost strongholds—each chasing freedom, glory, or survival. br br Imagine a fierce origin tale: blood-bound alliances, uprisings flaring across a vast realm, and the first steps toward Xerxes’ metamorphosis into a self-proclaimed “God-King.” From merciless desert strikes to siege-scale battles at ancient fortresses, these untold conflicts set the course of nations—long before the legend of the 300 was forged. br br With sweeping imagery, mythic tone, and the stylized ferocity that fans love, this imagined prequel widens the 300 universe into a darker, blood-drenched saga of empires in collision. br br Disclaimer: br This is an unofficial, fan-made concept trailer for entertainment only.
