When Raythe was first colonized by the United States, Argillians (clay golems) of Ro were found to be great local trade partners. When Raythe lost contact with Earth and society began to collapse, the Argillians initially offered to help, but later chose to stay out of human affairs. | When Raythe was first colonized by the United States, Argillians (clay golems) of Ro were found to be great local trade partners.

==== Observations ==== | |||
Ro lies out further than the moon. You could easily see it in the sky, but it was too far to see too much detail. When telescopes were being invented in the 500s BD, astronomers could make out the grand cities and floating islands of Ro. Ro had before been thought to be heavenly or godly in some religions, and after this discovery, several new religions were born. Some thought the Argillians to be gods with their far superior technology. Epics were written about Ro and the "gods" that lived upon it. After the Fall, when telescopes became less expensive and more publicly available, the people saw not the beautiful & awe-inspiring views told to them, but a cold, barren wasteland. The floating islands of Ro became Raythe's equivalent of Atlantis and were believed to be myth for hundreds of years, further splintering religions, until the 1700s/1800s AD when probes were sent and captured evidence of previous life. The Fall of Ro was noticeable on Raythe when it happened. The bright lights from Ro that usually only occurred on New Years began halfway in the year and flash for months until the Fall, when the lights flashed for the last time. | |||
