The Dawn Revolution
RevolutionA monarchy was established alongside the settlement of Ponvarus. Whilst originally stable, it failed to gain legitimacy amongst successive generations, who began to see it as a remnant of their ancestors' demise. A brief period of civil unrest began, with the revolutionaries adopting the Solar Lion, a symbol of valiance, as their icon. On the morning of the 14th of Tending in 1396 AM, the monarchy was peacefully abolished and the Golden Republic of Frankonia was proclaimed.

Grand Betrayal of Values
Disaster / DestructionThe Grand Betrayal was a disastrous period in Frankonian history that saw several of the Republic's most important figures exposed as cultists of Baphomet; more precisely, Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth. The subsequent inquisitions against the Templars were a bloody and highly sensitive period. It resulted in large reformations in the organisations of the Septemvirate dynasties, the government, and many guilds.

The Wrathful Expulsion
Diplomatic actionIn the backdrop of the Grand Betrayal, Frankonia's longstanding mission to the Kang was imperilled. A number of diplomatic staff were implicated as Templars and executed, though the Enduring Avatar of the Kang Dynasty had had enough, and used the Templar infiltration as the basis for expelling all Frankonian personnel from the Mandate. This was backed by military force, which ended in a month-and-a-half-long siege of the Frankonian legation. In the end, most of the Frankonian civilian and military personnel were saved by a joint evacuation effort consisting of the Septemvirate dynasties Dandale, Garderique, and Merandure, as well as the I Golden Legion. This event marked the end of the only permanent foreign diplomatic mission to the Heavenly Mandate.
