Rucolebeni

Rucolebeni was the original capital of the Beelzenian Empire prior to being moved to the Imperial City to its east. The original site of the Imperial Palace and the Beelzenian Imperial Family, the city declined in later years. Developing a thriving wine business and multiple liquor stores, Blood Grave became among its chief products.

History

Early History

At some point, Rucolebeni was established as the capital of the Beelzenian Empire. With the death of Duke Gastolle during the nation's civil war with Asmodean, the western half of the duke's Re Tasan was incorporated into the imperial family's jurisdiction, making Rucolebeni the center of the newly created Beelzenias region.

Decline

Over the centuries, Rucolebeni achieved minor fame for developing a growing wine business with the sale of Banica's Blood Grave. At some point before the sixth century EC, the capital was moved from Rucolebeni to the new Imperial City. In EC 505, the writer Yukina Freezis stayed in the city and visited the Conchita mansion before moving on to the Langley Unit Garrison. Following the annulment of the armistice between Marlon and Beelzenia, Rucolebeni was the first town to be attacked by the invading corpse soldiers; the town was devastated for several days until the soldiers were fought off by the Langley Unit division.

World's End

In EC 999, Rucolebeni was completely decimated by Punishment. Following the end of the Third Period, the destruction site merged with the Hellish Yard along with the rest of the ground world.

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

• Rucolebeni's Japanese name, when reversed, matches the characters of the name of the alleged child of Nicole Aubrey, a young woman who claimed to be possessed by and allegedly conceived her child with Beelzebub, the patron demon of Gluttony.
• Fittingly, the name of Beelzenia, where Rucolebeni is located, is derived from Beelzebub.
