Peragen: Difference between revisions

Conoso's state, together with the Elvish states located in current day Wed Shams, north and west of Rodenia, as well as the eastern Peragian Sea coast, large portions of Intergua, and northern Erranza and Lespanza, would fall under the rule of the Lewizi kings Nordin V, who died during the siege of Marga, and Nordin VI, who marched forward from their original territories in the sources of the river Shams after two years of locust plagues, as reported from the historians of the time and later evidences. The fragmentation southern Arcturia had experienced for long centuries, plus the agricultural crisis lasting since the Toré eruption and the consequent general reduction of the military forces left an easy path for the strengthened Lewizi realm to expand across the Peragian region with a small but tactically effective force in the span of 10 years, with the last moves made in the year 960, the year when Nordin VI died of what is currently believed to be acute diabetes.

Nordin VI's successor, Altash, would move to Conoso and establish there the empire's capital permanently; in the process, she also adopted Tunseism, abandoning the previous Nefisi beliefs Lewizi monarchs had followed, and built stronger ideological ties with Impelanza, such as the expansion on the section of Impelanta's story in which she stays with the Elvish peoples in the area east to the Peragian Sea. Those peoples, sworn to Impelanta, were described as being ancestors of the Lewizi, and Altash and her successors claimed the Arsalian title of Guardians of Her Legacy. Altash's reign would last 102 years, a long span among Elvishelven queens.

The Nordian empire would last in the boundaries Nordin VI defined until Altash's successor, Tunsayehu. By his 46th year of reign (1108), the inner tensions inside the Lewizi elites, which confronted supporters and detractors of the "impelanzation" the empire was undergoing not only in the ideological field, but also around the economical and administration aspects (in which Altash was inspired as a model of efficiency), made the empire split in half. After Tunsayehu's forced abdication and the subsequent inner Lewizi war, the result left the Peragen river as border between the two newly formed realms, which would follow different trends from that moment.
