Rome: Difference between revisions

In what is considered Rome's first true conflict, a prominent aristocrat and Roman elitest known as [[Scratus Seventus|Scratus]] met with many nameless politicians without the sanction of [[Draconius|Lord Draconius]] in what was then a city in 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 Lord [[Hargreevs|Hargreeves]] posed an idea of their own: ''"Those who wish to oppress shall be oppressed themselves!"'' With this, Hargreevs slew Scratus 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.[[File:Rome.png|thumb|Rome before its destruction. Taken by zaktoslph.|left]]Seeking to expand his territory, Draconius would declare war on the nearby town of [[Amkensfort|Amkens Fort]] 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|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'']].
