The Runarins are the first recorded race to develop inter-stellar travel by technological means, and did so some time in the early Dynastic Period.
Whith this, they established a vast interstellar empire, securing their borders well enough to allow relative internal peace.
History
Exactly when or where the Runarins originated is unknown, though their forfathers were probably survivors from the Fall of Roads who recovered from the Age of Darkness fairly quickly. They were isolated enough to develop high technology during the First Chaotic Period, and by the dawn of the Dynastic Period they had begun an alliance of several star systems.
A well-regulated economy and centralized administration made the Runarins strong. Their fast assimilation of conquered worlds as equals instead of slaves gave them a stable power base. Without having to worry about unrest from within, they were able to conquer new territories.
Social development within the Runarin Empire was encouraged, allowing art and culture. By the Second Chaotic Period, the entire Runarin Empire was a unified nation with a rich shared heritage.
When the Gudersnipe Army began targeting multi-world governments at the start of the Second Chaotic Period, the Runarin Empire was spared. Though Alliance historians record that this was because the Gudersnipe Army feared them, this was not true. Laytami Gudersnipe said later that he delibrately spared Runaria because he saw no reason to destroy it, as a fair and equitable empire with a high standard of living, who did not practice slavery and respected human rights. There was nothing in Runaria (Laytami said) to call for its destruction.
As the Second Chaotic Period passed, the Runarin Empire converted from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and became the Runarin Confederation, eventually backing Uther. The Runarin Confederation was the first signatory to the Ruling Council, later the Ministry of Earth, the Earth Sphere Unified Nations, and finally the Unity Earth Sphere Alliance.
