History of the Tulum Empire

For a while, the provinces that rose from the ashes of Arkhosia did so independently. Although there was sometimes tension between some of them, they remained neutral to each other. However, once war broke out with the kingdom of Astarel, they quickly realized that they needed to ally to survive. Eventually, the county of Zamok was chosen as the capital (for strategic purposes), and the whole lot became an empire. The event was held at the castle of Zamok Ognya; each county representative signed the treaty that day and thus the first emperor was chosen.   To mark the event even further, a new calendar was introduced: the imperial calendar. Unlike the astral calendar, this one is based entirely on the phases of the moon Astrel; it's divided in 12 months, each containing 2 full phases.
