Reign of Theopha

Political event

Empress Deacae, upon her death, passes the title to her granddaughter, Empress Theopha, making her the sixth Empress, and third Tolan Empress.  Inheriting a stable empire, she focuses her attention on protecting their colonies and ships and strengthening trade relations - primarily with the Audocavan Confederated Cities.  Empress Theopha breaks with all traditions, stepping down as empress at the age of 54 and passing power to her son Theophorus IV.  She is the first empress to abdicate of her own will.
