## Empire

On 26th March 2021, Ralph reformed the Republic into an Empire, declaring himself Emperor Mole:

*I have studied the auguries, I have watched the stars and, there is much strife afoot. I visited the cave in the mountains where a strange oracle told me this:*

*Faith in men destroyed, walls chambered high Reckoning is upon, alliance in the veil Your teachings falter The sphere of life shifts in the balance As the draught grows stronger And the bonds solidify like stone The forges below are lit Unto the anvil of war, the fire burns*

*This prophecy worries me I am sure that in no less than a week, our peaceful coexistence will be uprooted in terror and war. Spears shall be shaken, Shields shall be splintered. We will be thrown headfirst into utter and complete turmoil. To that effect, in order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Aquilan Empire! For a safe and secure society. The meeting is adjourned.*

This escalated the tension of The Great Egg War. However when the war ended the Empire was dissolved at Aquila was returned to a Republic. Ralph unveiled a new flag.
