Founding of an Empire
The nation of Risban was first colonized on April 12th, 127 B.C. by a group of 1,300 settlers. These settlers lived in peace for over three centuries, governed by a tribal council. Then, in 264 C.E., after the arrival of several settlers believed to be connected with the Roman Empire arrived, a civil war erupted in Risban. Three factions were formed: The Republic of Risban, the Order of the Scorpion, and the Risbanian Imperialists. These factions waged war for over four-hundred years, until the Order of the Scorpion and the Risbanian Imperialists joined together to form the Imperial Confederacy of Risban. After several more years, the Republic and Confederacy signed a peace treaty, ending their conflict.
In the year 1593, the Republic of Risban, controlling the eastern half of the nation, entered into a civil war. The Confederacy saw this as an advantage and decided to attack the Republic, but was forced into fighting internal conflicts itself. Both governments eventually imploded and eroded. Risban entered a Dark Age. Only the Order of the Scorpion survived, retreating to their mountain fortresses.
Early in the year of 1705, a group of wealthy and powerful families with connections to organizations such as the Order of the Scorpion, the Freemasons, and the Illuminati came forth to restore order to Risban. These families bore these names: Scorpius, Antares, Graffias, Lesath, Plutus, Boru, Tarda, Zorg, Dolohov, and Pelias. By Novermber 9th, 1705, these ten families had founded and created the Empire of Risban, establishing the Imperial Parliament and creating the first section of Imperial Palace in the newly-created Risban City. Julius Castor Dolohov was crowned the first emperor of Risban.
The Dolohov family controlled the throne of Risban for over a century. In the late 1800s, Emperor Peter Pollux Dolohov was crowned emperor when his father died. By this time, the Imperial Parliament had begun to grow annoyed with the latest heirs of the Dolohov family, who had been cruelly abusing their power. On July 2nd, 1897, members of the Graffias, Lesath, Zorg, and Pelias families in Parliament staged a coup against Emperor Dolohov, executing him and his immediate family members. Then the line of Graffias took control of the Empire.
For the next hundred years, the Empire of Risban experienced little economic growth and power. It became an isolated nation, cutting off all contact with the outside world. The Graffias family seemed to be even worse than the Dolohov. Emperor Julius Ilia Graffias seemed to abuse this power more than anything. Thus, there was move to overthrow him. The young Grand Admiral Count Robinson Antares Scorpius, the senior advisor of the Imperial Navy and a member of Parliament, led a succesful coup d'etat against Graffias, capturing him. He had the support of most of Parliament, the military, and the people. There was, however, opposition. The Graffias Loyalist Party launched attacks on the new regime's supporters, but were instantly pushed back. They attempted to leave Risban via ocean, but passed too close to the Fiefdom of Nemh's borders and were destroyed. Newly-crowned Emperor Scorpius publicly executed Graffias and his top supporters, securing his place as Emperor.
