Scarlet Empire was formed on March 19, 2006 as a group of friends seeking escape from their former clan, and freedom as an independent and amiable Runescape community. While there is much debate over the rationality and sensibility of breaking away, rest assured that the founding members merely desired a strong sense of independence and freedom to enjoy Runescape as they deemed worthy. Under the new banner of Scarlet Empire, this clan continues to grow and flourish, welcoming new friends and strengthening the bonds of old. The past is gone, and the future is just a long string of "nows." The best we can do is to live each one fully, and in its turn.
