    Military action

    The final military conflict between the Elves and the Tabaxi in Yama. Some know it as more of a long campaign of extermination, or even a genocidal massacre spread out through decades. Though the Elves won the conflict, the Tabaxi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the world through their own means, never to be seen on the isle again.

    The Second Yamaite Shogunate
    Political event

    A brief period of negotiations between different leaders led to an agreement and a certain 'restoration' of the Old Order of the Shogunate. Though formally, this administration is known as 'The Second Shogunate', due to important differences in the systems. Though this era brought much prosperity to Yama, it also saw a slow decline in economic growth and individual freedoms which many came to criticize.
