The Restoration

Revolution

After nearly two hundred years of chaotic rule at the hands of various "pretenders to the throne," the stage was finally set for Wyeth to fall back in the hands of dynastic kings.   Fears of the maligned Lentokki God Kings to the east paved the way for the Restoration of the Crown. After years of largely ineffective "democratic" rule (predominantly corrupted, due in large part to the interests of Rocha), Jothan Wyeth "The Valid" (a moniker meant as a perjorative by his detractors, yet embraced by Jothan as a badge of honor) arrived on the scene to retake the throne for the original bloodline. A beloved war hero, Jothan hailed from those ("The Spear") Wyeths who defended Narfell against the Goblin Horde, at the end of the Sundering. Though his ascent was largely bloodless (due to his shock and awe battle tactics and the relative inexperience of the farming states he usurped), many questioned it as an exploitation of the peoples' deeply ingrained fear of the Lentokki. When the newly reformed Senate couldn't come to any agreement or legislation to deal with the remaining lords of the Freemantle, still in open revolt, Jothan disbanded them in what some refer to as a coup. Overnight, Jothan transformed the benevolent nation state into an empire in all but name, expanding its borders deeper into the Freemantle. Jothan took, mostly without violence, many of the hold-out states within the Freemantle.
