'''Rome''' was an early settlement of Arith, and the capital of the short-lived ''Roman civilizationCivilization''. It was founded by a seafaring colonist, [[Draconius|Stevius Blockus"Caesar" DraconiusBlockius]], on the 10th of June, 2021 - notably, within a day. The earliest townsite took hold of an older [[Humanoid Races of Alathra|Villager]] colony on the southernmost coast of [[Arith|Arith,]], at the mouth of the [[Amkens River]] in [[Stormwind Bay]].
 
In what is considered Rome's first true conflict, a prominent aristocrat and Roman citizenelitest known as [[Scratch7777Scratus Seventus|Scratus]] met with many unnamed prominentnameless politicians without the sanction of [[Draconius|Lord Draconius]]Stevius in what was then a city ofin south-west [[Ashina]], and would at his own risk pose the understandably controversial idea of uniting the world under one banner. At the mere mention of this, the battle-hardened minded lordLord [[Hargreevs|Hargreeves]] posed an idea of their own: ''"Those who wish to oppress shall be oppressed themselves!"'' With this, Hargreevs slew Scratch7777Scratus on the spot, before turning his sights on DraconiusLord Stevius, who had just recently arrived at the council. DraconiusStevius was similarly slain by Hargreeves, and though he would apologize for his citizen's actions, a hatred for many was born.[[File:Rome.png|thumb|Rome before its destruction.

Seeking to expand their territory, Draconius would declare war on the nearby town of [[Amkensfort|Amskenfort]] on the 17th of June, 2021, and subsequently occupied the town. However, Rome itself would undergo a number of disasters later that day. Tamagoth, a citizen of the nearby town of Redwood set fire to the unclaimed village where Rome was situated, and this event became known as the Great Fire of Rome. A few hours later, Rome was disbanded as it failed to pay its upkeep. The remaining houses were sacked and burned by unknown assailants. Redwood took what was left of Rome's territory for the day in which they might return. [[Invictus|They did]].
