    This is actually canon. They had a huge cultural split over the whole issue of attitude that eventually resulted in the founding of the Romulan Empire.

      Nah but fr I never learned exactly what they split over. The desirability of outward arrogance?

      Imagine if leftists got a new planet every time we split.

        They split because of Surak's teachings in the Time of Awakening around the 4th century CE. Surak taught peace and control of emotions by logic, and the Romulans were the last faction of Vulcans to reject his teachings and ultimately left the planet.

          or for the more fantasy minded: Vulcans = High elves.

          Romulans = Dark elves.

          those "proto-Vulcans" on that one planet where they thought Picard was a god = Wood Elves
