Editing Trinity:Ronkan Empire (section)

==Summary==
Formed in [[Trinity:Timeline#-28_CY | -28 CY]] by common reckoning, the Ronkan Empire was formed by a ragtag group of humans, gnomes, and dwarves; later, it would also consist of the orcs of southern [[Trinity:Sarteri | Sarteri]]. When founded, it consisted of a single city, Ronka, where the various races had gathered to discuss the founding of the Empire; once established, all the known dwarven cities joined the Empire, as did several of the southernmost human cities.

As it expanded, so, too, did their technological innovations expand. Eventually, in [[Trinity:Timeline#-22_CY | -22 CY]], an enterprising young technologist by the name of [[Trinity:Roywyn_Folkor | Roywyn Folkor]] would invent a contraption known as a 'walker. These immense spring-based machines were what gave the Empire such technological might; with such power, the Ronkan Empire proceeded to destroy the [[Trinity:Woodland_League | Woodland League]], and in [[Trinity:Timeline#-19_CY | -19 CY]] the Ronkan Empire extended from what was once the far northern border of the League to the extreme edge of the mountains in the south. The only portion of land they did not control on the whole of Sarteri was [[Trinity:Wayverith | Wayverith]], which consisted of nothing more than [[Trinity:The_Lost | the Lost]] and was of no interest to the Ronkans.

In [[Trinity:Timeline#-2_CY | -2 CY]], experiments with an idea known as "[[Trinity:The_Forces#Magitech |magitech]]" were given the go-ahead in the northern-most city of Arcadis. The resulting detonation levelled the entire northern region, and this explosion would trigger a mass exodus from Sarteri, thus beginning what is known as the First Age.

The remaining cities of the Empire attempted to maintain some semblance of order, but failed due to lack of communication. The remnants of the Empire slowly became simple city-states with no connection to each other; the region that the Ronkan Empire once occupied became the home of the [[Trinity:Ronkan_City-States | Ronkan City-States]].
