![[west 1.png]] # Rhotae ## Another [[Imperial]] Town whos History is Bloody and Treacherous - "Rotash", Formerly --- # Backstory & History [[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.' This settlement is part of the [[Western-Empire]]. Owned by [[Imperial]] house, [[Lonalion]]. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries The [[Rhotian]], probably a tribe--> ![rhotae 0002 2023 07 04 14.01.35](https://mountandblade2bannerlord.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Mount-and-Blade-2-Bannerlord/rhotae_0002_2023-07-04_14.01.35.jpg "rhotae_0002_2023-07-04_14.01.35") ![rhotae 0001 2023 07 04 14.04.59](https://mountandblade2bannerlord.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Mount-and-Blade-2-Bannerlord/rhotae_0001_2023-07-04_14.04.59.jpg "rhotae_0001_2023-07-04_14.04.59") ![rhotae 0000 2023 07 04 14.06.47](https://mountandblade2bannerlord.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Mount-and-Blade-2-Bannerlord/rhotae_0000_2023-07-04_14.06.47.jpg "rhotae_0000_2023-07-04_14.06.47")
