===Era of Changes (890 CE - 972 CE)===
Arin couped the Ethalried Empire and established matrilineal succession in 890. The claim to the throne was contested and the nation fell into civil war. With the Ethalried Empire’s attention on its internal problems, parts of the outer territories were either annexed by the second Maltervenian Empire, annexed by other empires or seceded, forming their own
When the decline of the Ethalried Empire began, Egbert declared himself king of Staynnica and amassed large armies from his influence as a nobleman and the new nation began rapid expansionism in the north-west. Staynnica became the largest kingdom to secede from the collapse of the Ethalried Empire, though it inevitably became economically dependent on the trade and riches of the Maltervenian Empire.
