Romas Dominion

The Empire


The Romas was a large nation that dominated most of eastern continent of Antharea. Their seat was their capital of Thassus which is now in ruins on the coast of the Bay of Rage.

Historians estimate that their empire was around thousands of years before it's demise (Founded circa -4230 ~ Fell apart -1230). Their culture was similar to that of the Byzantine empire. Aldun Valus was King at the time of their destruction.

History
The end of their empire also resulted in the loss of thousands of records and many more arts and pieces of literature. This makes the history of the Romasi hard to track and only a few have good knowledge of what how the empire came to be. Some historians have deciphered from ancient pillars that ancestors of the Romasi travelled from the southern jungles, across the great deserts and along the Sandscar and the now-bled-dry Toros river. The Romasi settled across the realm and the most prominent groups rose from the island-city Thassus and the riverside Torossus. The Thassians and Torossians began dominating the other towns and cities and over a thousand years managed to take control of a large portion of the continent. The empire had difficulty in subjugating the Amakare and moreso the Yldanosians whose might rivalled the Dominion. The Romasi built a large wall that spanned their northern border in order to repel any Yldanosian attack. It is believed that the wall was around for hundreds of years before their demise; and was never

The Destruction of the Romas
King Aldun Valus had a large interest in the different arts of magic. He was most intruiged by nuclear magic. He was hoping his society of sorcerers and magisters would be able to perform fusion in order to create gold in large amounts.

During their trials, Grand Magister Ficconic Daponos succesfully performs the fusion using vast supplies of iridium and helium. This transmutation, however, required so much energy, it destroyed almost everything around it, and the reaction would not stop and ended in an nuclear explosion which decimated the Romas Empire.

The Aftermath
King Valus led his House and surviving vassals to colonize the eastern continent.

Other houses formed small nations which merged to become Lysofos.
