![[calradia banner 2 1.png|]] [[Rhotae]] is a former [[Palaic]] hill-fort in the shadow of the basalt slab of Mount Erithrys, once known as "Rotash". It fell to the [[Calradian-Empire]] shortly after [[Lageta]]. The [[Palaic]] chief here, when he heard of what happened to his neighbor, slaughtered a dozen [[Imperial]] citizens under his protection. The eccentric long-haired general [[Sarapios]] led the punitive column that took "Rotash" and burned it to the ground. '[[Lageta]] we took treacherously but with little bloodshed. "Rotash" we took honorably, with great bloodshed,' he supposedly said afterwards. 'Both will be remembered as a stain on our name. The victor always takes the blame, but keeps the gold.'
