The Enlightenment of the East
WARNING TOPIC HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL

During the early life of the Purians they had a swift but brutal and self-defining civil war, known only as the great unification war. Shortly after peace and unification was achieved the new ruling body of Puria, The Senate declared that the world must be explored or in LatPurian "Se Conquiero" which to English translates to "To be conquered". To the early Purians conquest was not entirely conquest by military might and expansion but rather through knowledge, what better way than to explore the unknown reaches of the world they know. The first people they encountered were the Sarothians, a brutish and barbaric race of giants that live on the continent of Sarothia (Carsden at the time). The Sarothians were themselves in the middle of a loosing war with their "gods" a dragon like race called the "Dra'con" in Sarothian. Yet they also were dealing with a much scarier threat from the east of them, an Intercontinental empire called "Alterria", who had built a settlement in the deep south of Carsden. The Sarothians explained this to the Lord Conqueror, who then relayed the message to Senator Dominatus. The Senator took a ship known as the "Castra" to see this vast threat. What he saw was a massive empire spanning a continent and existing as well on another continent. Senator Dominatus sent this message to his brother Senators who quickly decided that the world and they themselves where so blinded by selfishness to unite and prosper that they let the world go unchecked and form a massive empire in the shadows.

This we know today as the reasoning that Puria set ablaze the nations of the East and many western nations as well. To "enlighten" the world that there is and will always be bigger issues than our own.
