The Reconstruction period, commencing in 362 UT, was predominantly marked by the efforts and influence of the
Davinet family. The Davinets, previously prominent figures in the holy city of
Enribellis, the seat of the
Congregation of the Ascended, chose to leave due to the rampant corruption they saw intertwining the Church and the decaying
Amazar Dynasty.
Setting their sights on
Sabellis City, which had fallen into decay and lawlessness after the departure of the
Eannelks, the Davinets ousted the petty lords and began an ambitious project to reinvent the city. Their efforts transformed Sabellis into an ethical, intellectual, and financial beacon, attracting a plethora of influential
Dukes and Duchesses who had previously been subservient to the Imperial rule.
Et Davinet, a key figure of the family, in 281 UT orchestrated the
Pact of Three, an important accord that addressed the escalating tensions among mages, the nobility, and the Church, each of which had become bloated and had overstepped their bounds. To commemorate this agreement, a monument was erected in Sabellis City, its eternal flames still tended daily by the mages of the
Column of Taharjin.
Et's successors continued the family's mission of improving life for the empire's citizens. Despite resistance from traditionalist nobility, who bristled at the growing influence of the middle class and expanding rights for non-Drakoyans and the poor, the Davinets remained steadfast. Their strategic alliances and astute political maneuvering kept opposition in check, allowing them to enact progressive reforms.
Significant achievements during the Reconstruction include the abolition of slavery, the establishment of a public education system, and the reinforcement of guild structures to ensure economic fairness and competitiveness. The Davinets also took it upon themselves to rectify the poorly administered
Ruby Road trade route, which the Amazars had reopened but failed to manage effectively. This improved trade immensely, benefiting the common folk as well as the elite.
While the Reconstruction hasn't been without its challenges, the Davinets have deftly responded to historical currents and societal shifts, transforming the nation into its modern form. Even though the government structure outwardly adheres to democratic principles, it's the Davinet family's influence that has been instrumental in
Draksineon's evolution. Their leadership continues to guide the empire towards a future that respects its rich history while fostering growth and inclusivity.
