Her dynasty would continue to rule Lagdira with an iron fist until the reign of Sigurd IV who ruled in between 1440 and 1485. Under Sigurd’s reign reforms were established that would see the establishment of a Council of Elders which was a council made up of local gothirs and jarls. Heavily decreasing the power of the monarch, ensuring most matters were decided by the council. His reign also saw the start of renewed trade between Lagdira and other Ulvrikian kingdoms, specifically between it and Novreheim. In which Lagdira traded its thralls for weapons and gold. Often seen as the start of the Thrall Trade. Though said trade would end in 1615, as the Lagdiran Succession Crisis abruptly ended it. The succession crisis was started as a result of a dispute of Idun VI's claim to the throne, started by the queen’s cousin Jarl Harald of Østbrygg. Arguing that by ancient Lagdiran law that none of mixed blood could claim the throne, in which arguing that the queen’s mother who was a Norgsveltian Princess would make the queen illegitimate to the throne. In which the crisis ended in a civil war between supporters of the queen and supporters of the jarl. Through support from [[Norgsveldet]] the queen’s forces were available to win against the Jarl’s, though cemented the Norgsveltian influence in Lagdira until the Gothiric Revolution in 1786.

==== Gothiric Revolution ====

When Gustaf II of Norgsveldet declared himself as the Fylkir of [[Ulvriktru]] in 1770, it resulted with a massive uproar from the Council of Elders. Who demanded that their king, Sigurd X, condemn the self proclaimed Fylkir. Though Sigurd rejected their demands and proclaimed oppenly his support to the Norgsveltian king. Which threw the kingdom into disarray as most members of the council openly defied the king rising up against him starting the Gothiric Revolution. In which the Gothiric Revolution became part of the larger Ulvriktru Wars of Religion. Despite support from Norgsveldet the Lagdiran monarchy was abolished as Sigurd X and his family fled to the recently colonized [[Ymirland]] where they were granted asylum by the Norgsveltian monarch.

The Council of Elders and the republican revolutionaries who supported them proclaimed Gothiric Republic of Jarisven. Which was a republic built around the ideals of Gothiric Republicanism. In which the Council had all the power, in which the High Gothir Eva Tørnvin was chosen as the first High Minister of Jarisven.
