Riulatica

Nobody truly knows how the first Riulaticans came to be. There are many theories, however, with the most popular one claiming that the first Riulaticans came to the planet as a space colony from a distant solar system.

Regardless, though we do not know where they came from, we know how they impacted the planet in the first few centuries and a bit about their lifestyles. The first Riulaticans were separated into three tribes: The Velan tribe, The Kamewa tribe, and The Sofoklo (Thohoklo) tribe. They migrated frequently, never staying in one place for too long, leading to very blurry borders between tribes. They created detailed works of art, had their own languages and communicated with each other using them, and, most importantly, traded with each other.

Eventually, the tribes of Riulatica would be united by Agrid Marlon, Maiji Sofoklo and Ara Kamewa, each representing their own tribe in a joined triumvirate of sorts. From this moment, Riulatica would become a proper nation.

During this time, Riulatica prospered. In less than a year, the citizens managed to create marvelous works of technology and science, including the Marlon Forge, which allowed for quick and easy construction of Mechamilites.

### Chapter 2: How Marlons Came to Power (1RC - 57RC)

In the year 6RC, a particularly harsh drought occurred, leading to massive crop failure. This event would lead to civil unrest, which eventually turned into an all-out civil war. During the war, the Marlon family, instead of protecting the shared land of the triumvirate decided to join the side of the people, overthrowing the Sofoklo and Kamewa families and establishing themselves as the sole rulers of Riulatica.

However, the issue of declining food supplies still remained unsolved, and it was up to Agrid Marlon the First's son, Sayarid Marlon the Cruel, to solve it.

Sayarid would do absolutely nothing about the food crisis, leading to the nation's swift downfall. His son, Dag'Akth Marlon the Gluttonous would be the last king of Riulatica for this time period, as Riulatica was soon conquered by a foreign power, Medicia, in the year 57RC.

### Chapter 3: Under Medicia's Control (57RC - 554RC)

For the next 497 years, Medicia would rule over Riulatica, electing puppet leaders as 'kings'. These puppet kings were usually mechamilites created in the Marlon Forge. The first of the many puppet leaders of Riulatica was King Remio Marlon the Poet. Under his rule, the ancient Riulatican language was changed to the greatly simplified 'Modern Riulatican', which led to the rapid advancement of literature, the education system, etc.

This simplification of the language also allowed for the forming of religious groups, such as the 'Pantheon of Twelve' and 'Pantheon of The Sands'.

The next Riulatican King was a demi-human who came to power under strange circumstances. As he possessed royal blood (he was the grandson of Dag'Akth Marlon), after Remio's retirement, he requested that the Great Father of the 'Pantheon of The Sands' crown him king in exchange for building a shrine/place for prayer for the believers.

Although this should have never worked, when Agnios Marlon the Pious showed up to the Palace with Great Father Remrawa, the guards simply allowed him to take the crown, making him the new King of Riulatica.

Agnios established the 'Pantheon of The Sands' as Riulatica's main pantheon of gods, built several large shrines around the nation, including the famous Shankhra Capital and stood up for his nation when Medicia attempted to enforce their religion onto them. This act of rebellion would serve as a motive for the attempted assassination of his son, Ogdar Virillion Marlon. This event, along with the revolt of Riulatican slaves on the planet Suprama (yet another Medician colony located in the same solar system) would lead to the start of The First Supraman War.
