Old Empire period
The Old Empire period is the time in the history of Styx stretching from the establishment of the noble house of Makathrav to the takeover by the Bezsvetowna family.
This time is remembered as a golden age of nobility by some old school monarchists, even some who despised the rule of the Bezsvetowna.
It was a time of stability for certain: nobility ruled, the peasantry toiled in the fields and the cities of Lakesore, Norrsidra and Zwistroad grew steadily.
It was also during this time that the Empire of Styx had alliances with the Kingdom of Darklight north and the Duchy of Sharhaven to its south.
The end of the Old Empire period is considered the point where nostalgia for a time before the Republic of Styx changes from "whimsical" to "enemy of the state" in the view of most of the people of contemporary Styx; the rule of the Bezsvetowna is seen far less favorably by most and monarchist activism is often punished by death.
