History
Formation The Free Empire of Quaon was founded by Shilom and Chiom Quaon in the first few years after the fall of the Roman Empire. It is believed to have been founded on about 500 AD, though that date remains disputed. Chiom and Shilom, brothers and former Roman Legionaires searched for a land to call their home, and found one in what is known today as Russia. Chiom and Shilom brought a few hundred people with them, as the former Romans came to Russia.
Chiom and Shilom are seen as almost mythical figures to the population of Quaon, and for good reason: the Free Empire of Quaon had to fight off Germanic Barbarian tribes many times, both men personally leading the growing people of Quaon to victory. Eventually, in what is known to Quaonions today as the Last Barbarian War, a tribe, whoses name translates as "the Rebels" attacked Quaon. The people of Quaon fought for years against these invaders, and many hundreds of Quaonions were killed. Eventually, Chiom Quaon himself led his army against the Rebels in a battle called today as the "Last Stand of Chiom." Chiom's army fought bravely and beat off the foriegn invaders, at the cost of the founder's life. The land which the battle was fought is now called "Chiom City" in his honor.
