(Restructuring Future, AU): The History of the Crown of Truth

Edhelest gains its independence from the Elysian Empire and becomes the Republic of Edhelest.

Tarai Amara Mitra, a key player in the revolution against the Elysian Empire, becomes first prime minister of the Tamluk Republic.

The Edhelest-Tamluk Alliance is signed between the two prime ministers of the Edhelest Republic and the Tamluk Republic, Lydia Flynn Danvers and Tarai Amara Mitra.

Keford, the capital of the Edhelest Republic, was taken by a high-ranking military officer with the help of Western Elysian Queen Regent Stefania. He crowned himself dictator of Edhelest and began to conquer more of the country after this date.

A civil war spanning two years began not long after a dictator staged an Elysian-backed coup on the Keford, the capital of Edhelest, and killed the Prime Minister. Almost a year later, the tyrant's reign was challenged by rebel forces, including some ex-Elysian soldiers and assassins. This conflict would continue even after the dictator was killed, until a republic government system was reinstated.

After the death of Empress Stefania, Western Elysian Emperor Titus Cicero Amulius threatened the young Emperor Attius II to abdicate his rule. With hardly any political or military support, Attius II is forced to comply with Titus's demands, making the older man sole ruler of the East and Western Elysian Empire.

Princess Cassian "Cassia" Amulius was crowned Empress of the Western Elysian Empire after the death of her father, Titus Cicero. She promised to usher in a new era of enlightenment and rebirth for the country--one that would uplift all peoples, no matter their background. It is recorded that she was supported by the Elysian ex-military leader Diocleationus and High King Valamir of Sylvia.

The First Civil War of Edhelest came to a close with the republic rebels defeating the military dictatorship, and on this date, the republic government was officially reinstated to full power with a newly elected Prime Minister in front of the entire capital of Keford.

The first device, or "lock," for mechanically firing a gun is created (not brought from the future by Transporters). It becomes known as the "matchlock." Firearms are altered so that powder is held in a "flash pan," and ignited by a wick, or match, in a movable clamp. Both hands remain on the gun, vastly improving aim.

As a show of good will, High King Valamir agrees to forge an alliance with the new monarch of The Elective Monarchy of Acanthus. The agreement is very quickly pushed through so that Valamir can send as much aid as he possibly can for the people of Acanthus who need to recover from over a decade of on-and-off civil war.

Professor Illuamor Ergavitas IV published the groundbreaking first volume of his Compendium of Marvelous Creators, which included over a century of his studies on different monsters, beasts, and even some otherworldly phenomena. Once the word of the book spreads, it becomes highly sought out by collectors, libraries, scientists, monster hunters, and ecobiologists alike. Professor Illuamor is declared the expert on monsters within 5 years of publishing.

The first flintlock is created in this era, and solved a longstanding problem. The flintlock mechanism was designed to push back the lid over the flash pan that protected/exposed the gunpowder when desired (rather than doing so manually) and sparked a flint at the same time.

The first piston and cylinder steam engine is created. It was mainly used for removing water from mines, and had yet to be used for larger machinery. It was also used for pumping water to large buildings. Trains and other transportation such as cars had yet to be invented, and the steam engine was used mostly in the western/central areas of Lebrith. It had yet to spread to the east.

The Second Edhelest Civil War began after decades of political strife and discontent spread among the republic government and citizens of Edhelest. Multiple factions were born: those who supported the republic, and those who desired an oligarchy controlled by only those with the most power and wealth in the country--themselves.
