	When the [[Viamontian]]s under leadership of [[Varicci I]] invaded the Empire, the Roulean empire collapsed upon itself like a rotten fruit. Already weakened by the long-ago loss of their trade outposts, the Rouleans were in no position to defend their holdings. Their once proud imperial legions gathered for one last great battle, which ended with the annihilation of the imperial army and the Emperor murdered in his palace, pinned to his throne by a sword through the chest.<ref name=OriginsViamont>2004/11 [[The Origins and Current Disposition of Viamont]]</ref><ref name=InvasionDereth>2004/10 [[The Invasion of Ispar]]</ref>		When the [[Viamontian]]s under leadership of [[Varicci I]] invaded the Empire, the Roulean empire collapsed upon itself like a rotten fruit.

	[[Old Roulean]] is a language used by the traders of the Isparian nations, and as the common language on Dereth. The language has spread to nearly every corner of Ispar, and was used as a common trading language. When the Aluvians, Gharu'ndim, and Sho were thrown together on Dereth, they adopted this trade tongue as a common language.
