The Empire of Roulea has all but fallen, being invaded by both the Viamontian and the Gharu'ndim. Though they have lost their power among the nations of the Iron Sea, their influence has spread even to Dereth. Here on Dereth, where the heritage groups have been thrown together, they have abandoned their native languages and use Ispar's common trading language of Roulean. We also use the Roulean Calendar and system of time.
The Roulean lands lie west of Gharu'n and north of the Sho Empire. To the north, across the Iron Sea is the Kingdom of Viamont.
No Rouleans are known to be on Dereth.
Roulea is pronounced the same as R'lyeh, the mythical sunken city of H.P. Lovecraft's novel "The Call of Cthulhu." It is probable that the lore-writers of Turbine derived Roulea from R'lyeh.
The Roulean Empire could be compared to the Greek or Roman empire.
