=== Birth and Early
Stevius Blockius I was born some time in the early [[The Ages|First Age]], a nomad of [[Arith|Eastern Arith]] in the territories of [[Duskenspur|Averon]] and [[Mausia]], where his plebeian father, ''Romulus'', married the daughter of a nobleman (either Averon or Mausia; disputed). It is said that they married in secret, bearing a mixed-blood child: Stevius. Upon being discovered, Romulus was put to death

=== ''The Legend of Stevius Blockius and the Averonian Blade'' ===
It was on the eve of a "diplomatic summit" that the nobleman, Stevius's grandfather, came for the blacksmith leaving a sword to be sharpened. Unbeknownst to the nobleman, his grandson was under his very nose. The blacksmith held the sword up to Stevius, telling him, "this sword, it killed you're father, and that man, he made it so." Stevius swore vengeance that day.
Stevius was awake and the world fast asleep, and while all else rested he took the sword to the stone, and on it he made a blade so sharp it cut the moonlight through the window. Into the sword he poured his anger, quenched it in his sorrow, and on it scribed a moniker: [[The Averonian Blade]].
The nobleman came for the blade in the morning, and he looked upon Stevius strangely. "Whats you're name" he said. Stevius replied; "I am Stevius Blockius, son of Romulus. You killed my father, widowed my mother, and I will have my vengeance." Stevius took the blade and killed him there.
Stevius and the blacksmith parted ways before the body could be discovered, but the blacksmith found no persecution after Stevius made it known he was an outlaw. The blacksmith left him a pocket of gold before Stevius then fled the east for the west, bartering passage to a new world.

Stevius Blockius I first appeared in the [[Alathra|Alathran]] history books some time in the [[The Ages|First Age]]. He was an [[Averonian]] colonist who, on June 10th, 2021, founded the then frontier town of [[Rome]] in southern [[Arith]]. It was named after his father, ''Romulus''. Rome's community grew, its territory expanding likewise, and with time and political disposition Stevius gained the title of "Caesar."
In what is considered his first true conflict as Caesar, Stevius fought with [[Hargreevs]] of [[Ashina]] considering the questionable actions of Roman citizen [[Scratus Seventus|Scratus]]. Stevius successfully negotiated the situation following the incident.

=== The Fall of Rome ===
The Roman Civilization fell to economic depression in the mid to late First Age. Rome was sacked and burned by various assailants, and Stevius Blockius fled the continent of Arith fearing political persecution. Stevius was granted asylum in [[Kais Kogong]] where he married the daughter of a

== Legacy ==
Caesar Stevius Blockius not only founded the Roman Civilization, but in doing so colonized an otherwise uninhabited region of southern Arith, resulting in the creation of various other civilizations such as [[RedWood|Redwood]] and the [[Encavia|Encavia Empire]]. The settlement of Rome resulted in the creation of a western Averonian culture and, in turn, the Romano-Invictan culture still present in the region.
Stevius Blockius authored the "Trifecta of Roman Literature"; the [[The Roman Collection|Roman Collection]], of which has since become focal considering the laws, rituals, and historical documents left down to the people of southern Arith by Stevius himself. The Romano-Invictan culture of Stevius Blockius continues to thrive in the many civilizations of southern Arith, where his memory is held in high regard.
