King Obed III ruled over the City of Bingol. He was enchanted by the teachings of fringe teachers. Seeking to bolster their own positions in his court, they showevered him flattery. As an allegedly vain and selfish figure, he fed into the flattery and fabrications of these fringe teachers. In the late 660s, one of them suggested that he adds another book to the Sacred Scripture called the Haagemar which contained polytheistic influences by allegding that Pax and Noi had demigod children known as Haagens. He tried to influence other nations to adopt and recognise the book. |

The other Kings and Princes were horrified. None was more disgusted than King Iktan of Bakil. Bakil ruled a realm to the south of [[Shakar]] and north of Kharyat. King [[Iktan the Devout]] attacked the city of [[Bingol]] to overthrow Obed and end his manipulation of religion. King Obed was defeated. In the process, King Iktan the Devout gained the respect and admiration of surrounding Paxist rulers who swore allegiance to him as their new King. He was crowned High King of the United Kingdoms of Bakil (also known as the first Packilvania). This new area consisted of lands that stretched from southern [[Shakar]], northern [[Ukanar]], [[Kharyat]], [[Mekedesh]], western [[Rigaryat]], [[Ashura]], and [[Iganar]]. His descendents expanded the borders of Iganar by military conquest, incorporating parts of [[Jumhurikesh]] and northwest [[Fidakar]]. |

Through the political and military expansion of the United Kingdoms of Bakil, cults emerged which incorporated pagan beliefs and rituals into Paxist practices and doctrine. Charismatic teachers and allegedly spiritually endowed sages were spreading various versions of Paxism that sometimes opposed accepted beliefs. High King Melkezedek of Bakil felt deeply troubled by these developments. |

The Council of Bingol began laying down how Paxism was to be governed.

He ordered the calling of the Council of Bingol. Invited to the Council of Bingol, were the most recognised and authoritative teachers and scholars of Paxism who adhered to the conventional doctrines and practices of the religion. The Council of Bingol began laying down how [[Paxism]] was to be governed. Its first act was to condemn the heretical practices of the cults thereby laying down supplementary measure of canonicity by reinforcing precepts in the [[Writings of Paxism|Sacred Scriptures]]. It ordered the formation of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] as the authoritative body to decide matters of doctrine and to weed out heretical practices as beliefs. In turn, the High King of Bakil was now required to be a Paxist. Furthermore, the collective decisions and judgements of the Magisterium would consists of a body of religious jurisprudence known as the Catechism and processes were laid down and criteria were specified for members of the Magisterium. This body continues to exist and has performed its functions for millenia even when the United Kingdoms of Bakil fell. |

High King Jezril V ruled over Bakil. However, he was notoriously promiscuous and a drunkard. The legend of his parties and the opulence and debauchery of his court reached the ears of writers such that 9th century author, Madel Albur wrote what is believed to be one of the first erotica novels, the ''Packilvanian Summer'' based on the stories (both true and false) of Jezril's court. |

High King Jezril V was also a highly disliked ruler because he publicly treated his sub-rulers unequally and failed to handle disputes with tact. In the throws of the instability that his chaotic rule caused, the Cosairs of Kodekesia first arrived in Packilvania. The Cosairs were human privateers and nomads who came from is believed to be modern day [[Free Pacific States|Codex]]. |

Under the mandate of the Kodekesian King, the Cosairs (many of whom were skilled horse riders and archers), they rode into Packilvania and caused chaos, plundering and burning cities to the ground. They took this wealth back to them to Kodekesia which was expanding its borders to the west. Ill-prepared for the ferocious and sporadic attacks of the Kodekesian Cosairs, High King Jezril lost control of his kingdom and it began tattering at the seems. |

To his dismay, [[Halaler]], [[Mochtan]], [[Subakil]], [[Abkeder]] and many other nations declared independence or were forcibly conquered by the Cosairs. The Cosairs introduced horses to Packilvania and the nation became skilled in breeding them, a craft for which it remains well-known. Furthermore, the descendants of the Cosairs remained in Packilvania and established Kingdoms of their own. Their most notable possession was [[Fidakar]]. Notably, the ex-Corsair now king Demir Agenat converted to Paxism and established the Kingdom of Fidakar, a human-led state. |

Packilvania receded to the city of [[Adrien]] and surrounding areas. The [[Magisterium of Paxism]], under Supreme Magister Thumim Vakaden, toppled the High King Jezril V and declared the Holy See of Adrien as an independent state. [[Prophet Sohadek]] allegedly had a vision in which he foretold that a human would one day re-establish Packilvania. This revelation was so horrifying that the Magisterium had [[Prophet Sohadek]] arrested. He also stated that the new ruler of the re-united Kingdom of Bakil would be called the [[Sultan of Packilvania]] (which means "Awaited One" in Packilvanian). |

In the years that followed, many rulers especially humans entertained the idea of Sultan, with some rulers calling themselves by that title to legitimize their rule. The idea of the Sultan became highly attractive among the common people because it gave them aspirations for a Paxist state and re-united Packilvania in which there would be justice and prosperity for all. |
