| - | Modern-day Byzantium sets upon the ruins of the great **Jethro Empire**, an empire which once stretched from Berndtown to Perkele. During the Empire's golden years, the emperor Constantine MCCCXXXVII founded Byzantium as a trading center to consolidate his power in the region. The city was constructed of pure gold, and was furnished with ports of cypress wood. Unfortunately, this attracted the attention of the Lakota people, who proceeded to blanda-up with the Empire, and cause its devastating collapse. As Kurwa rose to power, it conquered North Krieg for military uses and constructed the wall to serve as a barrier between the lands of Lakota and the lands of Kurwa. | + | <del>Modern-day Byzantium sets upon the ruins of the great **Jethro Empire**, an empire which once stretched from Berndtown to Perkele.
