Hello, my fellow leaders, presidents and despots, I am here to help explain the history of our ruined nation.
Long time ago, our nation discovered an artifact of great power, and used it to send our technology in leaps and bounds. We had space travel by the time Rome had been built. However, word of our fortune spread, and soon all the nations were threatening us for The Blessed Crystal of Fate. They slowly massacred the outskirts of our nation. This continued for half a decade before Our Ancestors decided to act.
Using the power of The Blessed Crystal of Fate, the Elders sunk our nation beneath the earth, hoping to create an underground utopia. They failed.
Soon after arriving, the inhabitants began slowly dying out due to the lack of food. Our people's days looked to be numbered when one man approached The Crystal, and took a great curse upon himself. He took in all the death, all the suffering, in order to save our nation at the cost of his own life. The Crystal, or the powers that controlled it, was moved by the sacrifice of the man and absorbed him into itself, granting him eternal life at the cost of the curse remaining permanent. He was Our First Benevolent Emperor, Quandine Mortalis The First.
Over time, we grew, larger, better, stronger. However, all good things must come to an end, and many millenia later, we were forced away from our joy.
It had first begun with small tremors, but however, they grew, until one day, the nation rose from the earth killing most of the population, and shattering the Blessed Crystal of Fate.
