People gathered in Ecoth's capital to protest some of the The Old Dynasty's new laws. The protest was supposed to be peaceful but the Dynasty's army saw a large crowd of angery people and feared the worst. What resulted was massacre.

As a result of the Capital Massacre, and constantly tired of putting up with The Old Dynasty, small pockets of resistance begin in seperated kingdoms across Ecoth. However these early uprisings are quickly delt with by the Dynasty and their leaders publicly executed to set an example...
The executions of the uprising leaders were supposed to stop future resistance, but instead it had the opposite effect. They proved what the protesters had said, that the Dynasty was too violent and did not value its subjects. This lead to more organised uprisings across Ecoth which ultimatly joined to form the Dundell...
The Dundell quickly formed a government after its creation with representatives from all kingdoms which pleadged aligence. The merchants who traded goods between kingdoms were not part of any kingdom and were outraged that they did not have representation. The merchant's council organised a strike which halted trade along major routs until the merchant's demands were met. This caused widespread chaos across the continent and the Dundell were forced to give the Merchants representation. Many used this to say the new Dundell Government was too weak and let itself get pushed around by smaller organisations and individuals...
Inspired by the Merchants, the members of the Shipping Guild also demanded representation. The Dundell initially refused but soon had to accept after the Shipping Guild threatened to stop the transport of goods by sea...
The representative of Vacana was brutally murdered in his palace by a masked assassin. King Hundra of Vacana put forwards his son Joedofe Hundra to represent Vacana in the Dundell instead. The event was very suspicious as Vacana had no enemies. There were no suspects with a motive. Security was increased significantly for Joedofe Hundra when he served in the Dundell.
Trade routes in the east become more consistently attacked as bandits and robbers organise. This convinces Joedofe Hundra that Ecoth needs a defensive force to protect it.
Fleeing from the Dundell, Joedofe Hundra finds that his father, King Hundra of Vacana wants to fight The Second Dynasty. Joedofe manages to stop his father but the Second Dynasty still attacks Vacana, lead by General Visko Malow. Joedofe is forced to flee the city with his wife Marka Doez and cytoknic PLOZ19.

A group of Dundell supporters lead by Sinric Leroy organise against the Second Dynasty so Emperor Rezide tasks an entity known as The Shadow with hunting them down. He is successful and the threat is eliminated.
Joedofe Hundra returns to Vacana a year after his exile. He activates sleeper cytonknics in the Vacanan Guard which he uses to overthrow the Second Dynasty's occupying force. He founds an empire in the west and vows to rule Ecoth by destroying The Second Dynasty.
Joedofe's forces ally with other independent western kingdoms such as Dogon and Garlacoce, mostly through force.
Hundra's forces march into the kingdom of Pahloh in an effort to forcefully take the capital. Joedofe saw Pahloh as a strategic location due to the construction of Hundra's Wall. Dynasty and Pahloh forces held out as long as possible but ultimately the city fell. The event convinced Malow that Joedofe's army was a serious threat.
Captured by The Second Dynasty, Joedofe Hundra's last action was to order the immediate suicide of all his remaining forces. Since he had turned the entire population of Vacana into his Cytonknic army this resulted in the death of the entire population. Hundra ended his own life shortly after.
