The Golden Empire of Pytharnia is a historic [[Yophenthean Successor State]] which originally included all of southern [[Pytharnia]], including [[Ambrulia]]. The Golden Empire is so called for the [[Arathraciot]] [[Yophenthean]] Dynasties that ruled it through its history from the eleventh to the middle twelfth century.  The Golden Empire endured as a single entity, surviving the secession of subject peoples, including the [[Ithradic Dwarves]], the [[Disdrirn Elves]], and the [[Medibgösk]], and continual assaults from the sky-warriors of [[Thrace]], [[gakhyami]], and the decline of central authority in [[Trevirs]] and later [[Bryndyd]].  The [[Golviaril Dynasty]] ruled the entire empire for the longest until 1127 when the [[Deavingeal Dynasty]] wrested the western empire and established their capital in [[Bryndyd]] until 1140, outlasting the Golviaril Dynasty by about thirteen years.  While both dynasties acknowledged the authority of the [[Erechórebese Sunfather]]s, the Deavingeal Dynasty worked in greater cooperation with the [[Erechórebese Sunfather]] and claimed they were purifying the church and preparing for re-unification with the island. Both kingdoms eventually succumbed to external invasions and internal discord.  The Golden Empire of Pytharnia preserved much older, [[Yophenthean Law]], the use of the [[Classical Yophenthean]] Language, and protected humans from the rising onslaught of [[humanlikes]] and sky warriors.  The dynasties propped themselves up as kings, acknowledged the ecclesiastical power of the [[Erechórebese Sunfather]], and defended the [[Arathracian Religion]].    ([[Golden Empire of Pytharnia|Full Article]]...)
