'''Rome''' was an early Alathran settlement of Arith, and the capital of the short-lived Roman civilization. It was founded by a seafaring colonist, [[Draconius|Stevius Blockus Draconius]], on Junethe 1010th 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]], at the mouth of the [[Amkens River]] in [[Stormwind Bay]].
In what is considered Rome's first true conflict, Roman citizen [[Scratch7777]] met with many unnamed prominent politicians without the sanction of [[Draconius|Lord Draconius]] in what was then a city of 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 minded lord [[Hargreevs|Hargreeves]] posed an idea of their own: "Those who wish to oppress shall be oppressed themselves!" With this, Hargreevs slew Scratch7777 on the spot, before turning his sights on Draconius, who had just recently arrived at the council. Draconius was similarly slain by Hargreeves, and though he would apologize for his citizen's actions, a hatred for many was born.
On the same day, Roman citizens got in a fight with [[Hargreevs]] in a friendly discussion turned violent. Roman citizen Scratch7777 had discussed uniting the world under one nation and had proceeded to attack Hargreevs and Dizzeave in an unprovoked assault, leading Hargreevs to slay both Scratch7777 and SteviusBlockus. SteviusBlockus apologized for their citizen's actions and threatened to kick Scratch7777 from the nation.
Seeking to expand their territory, SteviusBlockusDraconius declaredwould declare war on the nearby town of [[Amkensfort|Amskenfort]] on Junethe 1717th of June, 2021, and subsequently occupied the town.
