The Roman Empire

The mighty Roman Empire is a traditional republic, ruled by the Roman Senate and the Emperor of Rome. Rome's culture is one of unity, conformity, militarism, and pride for the capitol city of Rome.

After the Great War, the Grecian Accords divided the empire into three provinces: Roma, encompassing the area we call Italy and much of the surrounding area (and the setting of the Saviors of Pompeii campaign), Gaul, to the west of Roma containing most of western Europe including France, Spain and Portugal, and The British Isles, which includes England and Ireland. Due to it's value as a naval stronghold, Roman diplomats fought hard to gain control of the Isles of Britannia in the Grecian Accord's negotiations, much to the chagrin of some of its residents. Ireland being the homeland of the hearty and independant halflings, the locals felt much more akin to thier Nordic neighbors and resented being forced into the Roman Empire through an agreement they had no part in crafting. This resentment led to the Irish Rebellion, a war that ultimately led to all Roman troops being driven from the island. To this day, Rome has yet to retake what she claims as rightfully hers.
