The Accord of Unity

The Farenian Empire came into existence with the signing of the Accord of Unity in the year 2318 PB. This historic document symbolised the unification of diverse clans and species under the rule of Emperor Bedrik. Initially, the city of Perelline, founded in 2305 PB and home of the favourite candidate, was preferred to become the capital. However, with support from the kendric, the gnomes, and the rabbitfolk, Bedrik barely secured the majority of votes, making a smaller settlement the capital, which he named Kingshaven. This accord established the governance, rights, and obligations of all parties involved, ensuring peace and cooperation among the inhabitants of Farenia.
