The landmass that would become the Holy Empire of Rathanan began as part of the Holy Roman Empire.

The bishiop in charge of Rathanan, Alexander Dennali, who growing weary of Rome's corruption as well, turned the growing anti Roman sentiment into full scale revolution. After a bloody 7 year revolution, the people of Rathanan finally drove the Holy Roman Empire out of their nation and declared their independance. The people were quick to make Alexander Dennali their leader.
