A faithful record of our glorious Hadovean leaders
The final battle on the Fields of Ashnoor (original) that ended, or, more accurately, paused, the Succession Wars, General Callingber was not famous, influential politically or outstanding….yet.
Brokered deals with a range of groups some fully under a backdrop of civil unrest and some deals were with the merely disgruntled whom could go either way. Ultimately, Elyian restored calm to the Empire with minimal (if any) use of force. A renewed age of building and restoration began.
The recovery age (about 800 years) required some organising apparently.
For roughly 800 years during the “recovery age” The Empire’s leaders were efficient bureaucrats and not much more was required. It was widely understood that the Kingdom of Geldheim was also in a period of growth, as it were, so there were no immediate threats. The only “incidents” of historical note were an uncharacteristic rebellion in 723 AE that was brief, if not brutal, and the worker’s revolt of 1057 AE. Both incidents were fairly speedily resolved with no long term harm done to the progress of the Empire.
Increasingly Hadovean and Geldheim forces clash on or near each other's borders.
Border skirmishers had erupted, it had been widely rumored that Kingdom forces were massing in contested territory and if not doing the raids, were behind them.
Arndan led probably the largest group of fighters and was unanimously elected by the council of 12 to manage hostilities. Highborn, loyal to the Empire flocked to his standard.
This was informally, the renewal of hostilities with the Kingdom of Geldheim.
Empress Darquin was elected leader in 1241 AE after Arndan was stood down. Yalsoi leads our glorious Empire currently as the fight against the unlawful Kingdom picks up pace a new.
