Late Yophenthean Empire

The First Sack of Yophénthë, 840 AI marks the beginning of the Late Yophenthean Empire, 840 to 986, and ends with the Third Sack of Yophénthë with the pillaging and fire-bombing of the historic capital with an allied armada of Jaggudornish and Dewyddairsh sky tribes. Economic and ideological conflicts between the Empire and the Sky Peoples was likely the most powerful of stresses that battered and eventually overwhelmed the empire. Outlanders, human and humanlike, testing the vast frontiers of the empire, economic hardships, religious movements, the decline of the ruling Arathraciot class, and internal struggles for leadership all helped bring about the Fall of the Yophénthë and the Empire. Despite these changes, the Late Yophenthean Empire also saw expansion in the practice of Arathracianism, the founding and growth of some cities, and artistic accomplishments. The rulers of the period of roughly two hundred years that followed the Late Yophenthean Empire are known as the Yophenthean Successor States. The Arathracian religion underwent profound changes in organization and practices, ultimately surviving the violence and collapse, to be remain as the single largest religion in the Pallathantic Region today.
