Greatest extent of the Archmagedom of the Paleologus, ca 1200 AI

The Archmagedom of the Paleologus flourished during the period of the Yophenthean Successor States, from around 1,070 to 1,230. The Archmagedom was established by its founder, Orkybanthius the Archmage in 1072 AI in response to the collapse of Yophenthean military protection in Ambrinqua from invasions of minotaurs from western Danonan and Geddamin from the Ephysgæe Mountains. The Archmagedom finally succumbed to the onslaught of Gorcorumbese Geddamin in the thirteenth century. The ruler or Paleologus was a powerful wizard chosen by the College of Mages in Aglidice. Before this time, the Yophenthean rulers of Ambrinqua enforced the Arathracian Church's ban on wizards.

The official language of the Archmagedom was a form of Yophenthean Language called Ambrinquan. At its greatest extent, the Archmagedom of the Paleologus included all of Ambrinqua, most of Thrysto, the Sanomani Forest, northern Jerushabla, and both Narshad and Barse-Barra.

The Omandraline Empire of Sky filled the vacuum left by the fall of the Archmagedom in the late thirteenth empire, but lasted an even shorter duration. The rapid succession is noted as typical during the Middle Ages when humans strove to keep humanlikes at bay and maintain stable dominions.
