	Years later, the Vityaz began taking more autonomy from the Royal Family. Soon cities appeared all over Rosskar, with Vityaz ruling them in the name of the King. Villages spread, towns grew out from those and new hamlets formed. The woods were forced back by the ~~Woodsmen~~, experienced hunters and lumberjacks given equipment by the Vityaz to preform their tasks despite being from humble birth. Generations passed, with more resentment fermenting among the people of all castes. The Vityaz wanted total freedom from the Royals, the peasants desire to be given more privileges. War and rebellion were soon commonplace, with the Royals struggling with each civil war and the Vityaz fighting hard to keep the masses broken down.

	In the chaos, the few million that still lived were paralyzed by the Techno-Lords that arose from the ashes. Having selfishly hoarded all the remaining knowledge for themselves, they forced all others to be subordinate to them. This ushered in an era of fear and ignorance which even now has not been seen since on Rosskar. The main populace had no access to learning of any kind, relying on oral accounts that became horrendously corrupted with the following generations. The Techno-Lords branded themselves as the Royal Family, crowing their patriarch as King of all Rosskar. The most loyal servants among them became exalted, rebranded under the name Vityaz. Small gifts of technology were parceled out to them by the Royal Family to aid in the execution of their duties.

Years later, the Vityaz began taking more autonomy from the Royal Family. Soon cities appeared all over Rosskar, with Vityaz ruling them in the name of the King. Villages spread, towns grew out from those and new hamlets formed.

War and rebellion were soon commonplace, with the Royals struggling with each civil war and the Vityaz fighting hard to keep the masses broken down.


	==Alexandri~~'s Arrival~~==		==The Era of Alexandri==
	The Primarch could have landed in the forests, coming to tame the beasts and becoming a wild son of the woods himself. Or he could have landed in the slums, taken care of by the impoverished and taught humility. But instead, he came into the abode of the most wealthiest, powerful, families of all. Their collection of information was the stuff of legend, with Adeptus Mechanicus Adepts still awed by the purity of the documents found on the archives of the family. They were named the House of Ibirien, which translates from the Rosskan dialect into Low Gothic roughly as 'The North'. For they were as ruthless as the icecaps which were totally uninhabitable even by the humans of the Golden Age.


	Alexandri was spared nothing. He lusted for knowledge more than any child of the Ibirien family. He was famed for his impressive physical stature, leadership in commanding squads fighting border conflicts with the neighboring cities, and generally for the honor he brought the family. But his was a cold, calculating mind. Upon his twentieth birthday, his brother told him the truth of his origins. Alexandri had already deduced he was beyond being normal, but this understanding of where he came from sparked a righteous fire in him. A zealotry not seen in the relaxed, collected man before.


	~~He was destined for greatness. Being the son of a God? No. Being the ruler of Rosskar, all of it? Yes. Most certainly.~~


	~~==The Years of Blood==~~

	It did not take long for Alexandri to enlist the aid of his old comrades in the City Militia. Infamous slum gangs were brought into his fold, mobs of peasants sworn into secrecy. Guards were then paid off, allowing his ad-hoc force to overtake the city without a single complication. Well, there was that one clause with the total eradication of every Gentlemen House save for his own precious Ibirien. His family never forgave him for his act, but it did not matter. Ambition, that was all Alexandri cared for. Within a year his pulled-together force was a drilled army that launched lightning attacks on every surrounding city.


	The first dozen or so were taken ridiculously quick compared to all other campaigns. Was it because the people were driven by a new purpose? Freedom from the Gentlemen? Whatever the case, the Primarch maliciously used it to conquer his world. But then, resistance was met. An allied coalition formed against him on a plateau known as the Central Plain. Seven cities, closely locked together, known for being the fiercest of enemies had now banded together. Their walls had walls behind them, with reinforced bunkers behind that. Assault after assault was carried out against the Central Plain, with nothing but failure resulting from it.


	Alexandri then sought out the council of the Covens. Long had they been cast out of the cities, but they could not be silenced by the Gentlemen. They remained in the land between snowy field and encroaching forest, keeping the beasts back with powers beyond Alexandri's understanding. He asked them two questions. How can I be happy? How can I conquer Rosskar? The Witches told him what must be done: To take the walls, one must destroy the city around it. To find true happiness, one must seek to those closest to him.


	Taking their advice to heart, Alexandri fell to the mercy of his remaining original family. They forgave him, for there was no excuse or ploy. His armies leveled the Central Plain, not aiming at fortifications, but indiscriminately bombarding the urban areas. Eventually, the people gave up. Some fought on until there was no city left to fight for. As a promise to the Ibirien House however, all the Gentlemen and their families were spared. This sparked a seed of resentment in his people that would fester in due time.


	Alexandri named himself Emperor of Rosskar, and attempted to fix the planet's many problems in a vain effort to craft his world into a utopia. The simple fact was however, it would take time to reform the populace and rebuild the glory of the past. Not all knowledge was preserved, but he worked tirelessly to match his promises made at the beginning of the long war. A generation passed, and many of those promises had gone unfulfilled. The people split into two camps, those who quietly did not approve of their Emperor but decided to leave things as they were, and those who he had scorned through years of seemingly false promises.


	The Ibirien family was targeted after several failed attempts to kill the Rosskan Emperor. This drove Alexandri into a fury, establishing the illusive Secret Police. Not good looking men in fine suits, but average every day men plucked, trained, then put back where they were in society. Endless amounts of uprisings died before they surged, eliminated in their infancy. People disappeared often, and all now felt the long arm of the Emperor of Rosskar. By the end of the decade, the head of the shadowy organization joked that there were more rebellions made by their sting operations than actual attempts to overthrow his majesty's rule.


	~~Alexandri had passed the test. He had shown he was willing to do anything it took to hold his seat of power. Such a man could keep things running on Rosskar smoothly, many believed.~~

	An odd sense of pride emerged in the people at this time. The Imperial Truth was being accepted not just as an ideology, but a way of life. The last traces of superstition from the dark days of the ~~Gentlemen~~ Houses were disappearing from the populace. People strove to learn, to educate themselves. Literacy rates skyrocketed from fifty-eight percent to ninety-six percent in a single generation. It was not just an industrial revolution that took place, but a cultural one. For the first time ever, Rosskans didn't absolutely hate everything about their world.		An odd sense of pride emerged in the people at this time.

Some even questioned if the Regent should join with the Warmaster, or already had. The Legion was away, with only a few paltry Astartes garrisons remaining in the Rosskan Principality.

The Central Plain became breached in its southernmost city, the entire area lost in a month.

	The Sons of Fire, Life Bringers, and Mastodontii taskforce acted with brutal swiftness upon entering the subsector. First they cut off Rosskar from its sister territories in the Principality, wiping them out before moving on. Though the details of the event are unknown, Forgeworld Kyuw was destroyed with no survivors though no Legionary forces went to the world itself. Finally, it was time to strike. The Strelky Fleet in orbit fought valiantly, but it was nothing in comparison to the Legionary vessels' might. Little over half the planet was sacrificed in the first week alone then, relying on orbital and surface-to-void defenses to keep the advantage over the Central Plain.

	In the aftermath of the attack, half of Rosskar was inhabitable due to radiation. Solar flares from the odd, weird sun mixed in a minor touch of the warp with it. Those poor souls lost in there mutated, scavenging among the wreckage of left behind battle gear. These mutants descended from stragglers on both sides still to the modern day plague Rosskar. A week later, Alexandri arrived with the Silver Cataphracts Legion. The Steel Marshals joined with their brothers, heading towards rumors of Gaspard Lumey's location. Alexey was plucked from Rosskar, with a few hundred of the Strelky born on Rosskar staying behind to take care of the displaced civilians.
