The Empire of Itinerate Tree Dweller is a nation forged in fire and cooled in the blood of its fallen foes. Following the destruction their various homelands in northern Africa, a large coterie of Roman soldiers and merchants decided to press eastward to find a mythical home that was spoken of by Alexandrian prophets. These Romans took with them slaves garnished from the wars with the Germanic tribes of northern Europe, ensuring a strong work force for the city the Romans were to found. The Romans pressed onwards, narrowly missing the foreign enemies and forces that would surely destroy them.
