Warrior prince Shey Tapani rose from House Melantha and unified the houses in a series of bloody civil wars which spanned nearly twenty years. Two houses were destroyed by Tapani during the wars, and a third faltered and was absorbed within a century.

 

Tapani laid foundations for a regional empire which would last for 6,000 years. Shey Tapani's descendants consolidated the empire over 5,000 years. Sixteen dynasties ruled the Tapani Empire in turn, most of which hailed from either House Vormelantha, House Vormecetti, or House Vorpelagia.
