Line 103:
Only in the 13th century would luck turn in favor of Fortuna with the rise to power of Ausiliatrice, the first empress of Fortuna, in 1204 following the assassination of her half-brother Faro V. As a known warmonger within the imperial court before her ascension, Ausiliatrice made her ambitions clear: the entire conquering of Ambravia. By 1214, over half of the island was conquered, however her campaign came to a halt due to worsened relations with Greldonia who took the opportunity of the conflict to regain territory on the Crencello Arc. It would not be until under the reign of Antonello II, Ausiliatrice’s heir, that not only was the Kingdom of Ambravia defeated into submission in 1246 but also Greldonia was conquered, nearly doubling Fortuna’s territorial holds in a short period of time.
The Rocaillic Dynasty quickly came to an end following Antonello II’s death. Disgruntled with worsening conditions within the Empire and growing political instability under Emperor Fridericus, Calisto, the commander of the Imperial Guard who gained fame and power during the wars with Ambravia and Greldonia, put blame on the ascension process as he believed it allowed for unqualified individuals to become emperor. In 1275, Calisto with the Imperial Guard gained control of the palace and assassinated Fridericus. With the imperial court assembled, Calisto announced the dissolution of the title of emperor and the “end of leadership through blood” for the Empire. In its place he declared himself as Fortuna’s new ruler
