![[west 1.png]] # Lageta ## Acquired through Treachery - Referenced as Evidence of [[Imperial]] Lies and Backstabbing Tactics --- # Backstory & History [[Lageta]] was infamously acquired by the [[Calradian-Empire]] by an act of treachery. A rogue [[Imperial]] mercenary murdered the [[Palaic]] chieftain who employed him, took the citadel, invited in [[Imperial]] colonists, then bequeathed the town to the Empire. The [[Senate]] disavowed his action but accepted the bequest. The district is now thoroughly Calradicized, but the Battanians ([[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]]) to the north remember, and whenever an [[Imperial]] envoy speaks of the sanctity of treaties and pacts, they just nod to each other and say, '[[Lageta]].'" This settlement is part of the [[Western-Empire]]. Owned by [[Imperial]] house, [[Dionicos]]. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries [[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.'
