Ramohk Empire

The Ramohk [ramoʊk] Empire (610 - 848) was a large empire in Northern Egadet. The empire is first recorded to have been founded after the Ramohkena tribe built their capital of Meducys in about 610DR. In around 618, after rapid southern expansion, they encountered the older civilisation known as the Intageic Empire. This meeting caused both parties to continue expanding southways to enlarge their empires.

In 670DR, the Ramohk Emperor died, leaving the Southern half of his empire to his eldest son, and the Northern half of his empire to his second eldest. The Integeic Empire named this Southern half the Intaiohktu [ɪnˈtɛ ˈoːxtu] Empire, and they adapted this name to the Taioh Empire.

The Ramohk empire and the Taioh Empire which were now two halves of one original empire, lived peacefully beside one another for years, until the founding of the Taio-Geic Empire in 772DR.

After the founding of the new Taio-Geic Empire in 772DR, the Ramohk Empire became extremely fearful of the huge empire below. After living in fear for too long, in 840DR they sought back to their roots for help against this formidable foe. Multiple scouts were sent to find the settings of their distant relatives who they once knew to be the Mokehna Tribe. Upon doing this, they encountered the small Meican Empire in its place. The Meican Empire was protected by the large and powerful Gitalis Empire.

The Meicans enlisted the help of the Gitalis, and they weakened the Taio-Geic Empire so much that the Ramokhs were able to quickly and simply ravage the city of Meducys in 848DR. This greatly annoyed the Gitalis as they had worked hard to defeat the foe beneath with little to nothing to show for it, but the Ramohks were unremorseful. On a map of Northern Egadet, the Ramokh Emperor drew the Taio-Geic Border, a line descending downwards from the Kennan Sea. All territories right of the line were to be given to the Ramokh Empire, and all territories left of the line could be kept in exchange for peace. This border was implemented into the Treaty of Vauce, which was signed by each leading empire in 848DR. The Meican Empire ceased to exist in the treaty and instead became a province of the new Kingdom of Ogedahl. The result ended with the territories of Northern Egadet being split into the Kingdom of Ogedahl, the Kingdom of Rohlk, and the Kingdom of Vaucentine.

Etymology
The name of the Ramohk empire comes directly from that of the Ramohkena Tribe.
