New Era

The Second Parliament of Ravana:
February 2021 - July 2022
Little is known about this era of anarchy. Many nations perished in the Dark Age as the institutions of Ravana slowly faded from the memory of the populace. Yet, in the shadows of the fallen Kingdom there remained citizens who lit the torch of Ravana and held steadfast in anticipation of a new era of renewal.
July 2022 - Present
We stand ready to re-emerge stronger than ever. Will Ravana continue it's tradition of Monarchy or push forward with a new form of government?
