Royal Era

By the end of the Henge Era, the Obelisk Empire was a hollow shell of its original vision: it had become a corrupt and abusive empire with little spiritual resonance other than the teachings it forced upon its people. Hundreds of years of discontent lead to a revolt of spiritual, religious, and ideological slant. This era is marked by a setting ripe for many origin stories of great heroes and leaders rising up against oppression and freeing their people. Some claimed justice, some claimed divine intervention, but these great political, spiritual, and military leaders who overthrew the Empire were eventually dubbed the kings and queens of the lands, and royalty was born out of pride and reverence. The Empire was broken up into the city-states that lie on the map today and have more or less kept the same names. Although there were many conflicts over this expansive era, wars were between only a number of kingdoms and kept in check by the royal leaders and the various politics that influenced their decisions. No such conflict as the Henge Crusades would ravage all the Acronian Sea again. Economies would bloom again, and this gave rise to the metropolis capitals we see today. This is the era where the Acronian Sea got its name. A homeostasis of secularism and religion molded as temples and churches diversified and various groups (cities, guilds, schools, villages) and individuals used their newfound religious freedoms to select and choose their patron deities from the great pantheon, headed, of course, by the god and goddess. Warfare was common, but peace and trade were typically preferred. Royal bloodlines would inherit rule for millenia.
