The last of the [[Geddamin Wars]], the Fifth Geddamin War last from 2582 to 2586. It marked the end of [[Gorcorumb]]ese aspirations to retain and expand their great empire. Allied humans captured [[titancraft]] vessels from Geddamin and as a consequence began the development of [[titancraft]] technology.  Due to the outcome of the [[Great Sky War]], [[Gorcorumb]] lost its greatest ally with the defeat and reduction of the [[New Kalikán Empire]].  As [[Aurice]] was no longer subject to Gorcorumb's former ally, the Gorcorumbese Giants waged war a new offensive against the east, hoping to defeat the newly arisen Aurician Empire of [[House Bijäl]].  The Fifth Geddamin War arose soon after the truce that ended the [[Fourth Geddamin War]].  The [[Aurician Empire]] and her allies defeated the [[Gorcorumb]]ese and commenced a period of military, political, and cultural magnificence.

Gorcorumb's aspirations were greatly to perish.  Gorcorumbese Empire lost all extra-Danonan Territory, except Desthor, and the Gorcorumbese Empire waned steadily after this war. Mainland Corundy was liberated with the aid of Aurice under the leadership of the powerful [[Grand Duke Stalcast Bijäl]].  This help from Aurice enhanced Aurice's reputation. Nations and Tribes of northwest Weshif had a general revolt and Gorcorumb was not able to recover them.  Aurice did not retain or occupy Corundy after the war, unlike her dominion of the two provinces of Zamir.  Aurice gained much prestige and political clout and her acquisition of titancraft technology began the transformation of her military engine into an imperial force with repercussions for her overseas colonies and for her domination of western Asdauria in the 27th century.

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 order, [[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]]...)
