Remnant Empire

The Remnant Empire, officially the Empire of Argaiv, was a successor state to the Empire of Argaiv that was based in Ruba (later called Ruby, on the site of Rubellium) from 1280-1103BGE. It was created following the destruction of Argaiv's governmental and religious centres during the First Catastrophe, whereafter the Archon of Ruby City decreed that Ruba would continue the empire. The empire claimed all surviving settlements of the Argaivan empire, in particular those settlements in the Argaivan Orient of which Ruby was the largest and oldest. 
At its founding, it nominally controlled most of the former Argaivan Orient. However, Alasorra and Ak-Polona soon declared their independence and the empire never regained these territories. The nearly two centuries that the empire existed were marked by political tensions between the former colonies of the Argaivan Orient and saw a number of skirmishes and wars. The empire was dissolved in 1103BGE following the resolution of a succession crisis in Ruby.
The Remnant Empire is not to be confused with other remnant empires that were declared by former settlements of the Argaivan Empire, such as the Potamoun Empire and the Mésou-revivalists (both tiny in comparison to the Empire of Argaiv and Remnant Empire). When discussed in this context the Remnant Empire is usually referred to as the Ruban Remnant Empire.
