Earlier today, Lazarus celebrated the founder of the Alteran Empire returning to boot out the imperials holding the region. Their national paper called it "A Victory for Progress" and proceeded to denounce Imperialism and raiding. They said that raiding was needed to distract individuals from the lack of work done by the governments in their region by oppressing others.
Bizarrely they did not discuss the history of that region, nor did they discuss it beyond using it to demonstrate why Imperialism and raiding are evil. Having heard of this region before, I decided to do some investigating and explored both old forums and pages as well as talked to some knowledgeable people in order to find out more about this region. It was a member of the famous Commonwealth. The Commonwealth.
The founder is Rix Alphanesian, a member of the Aezaen Combine. He is strongly suspected to have played a role in the destruction of the entire Commonwealth forums. At the very least, he was an important member of the group which carried out the attack. In coming back and banishing the raiders from his region, Lazarus calls this a victory for progress.
