Rathnaar Whitlock, the First Emperor of the Rakos Empire, recounted the annals of the history that had been forgotten by now. He told a tale of how the origin of the empire started from the very beginning.
"Enemies came because now that the war had settled, plenty of territories needed resources to survive, also people to rebuild their lands, and since the war had left many ruling houses and clans devastated.
The territorial expansion to gather more resources was the only option, since agricultural resources needed a lot of time.
Thus, many lords and counts began to eye neighboring lands.
Unfortunately, even our isolated territory came into their sights. And seeing that we were thriving by then on our own as well as had enough residence in our barony, they gathered whatever forces they had to attack and enslave us.
