Establishment of More Gerian States

Gera, the Head Cleric, would have many partners. For each partner, with the land named after their family and the capital city named after the partner, Gera commanded to be established a Kingdom functioning autonomously with exception to bending the knee toward the Clergy in Akceji. In this manner was established the Kingdoms of Chufsa and Ne'is'treg, ruled from the capital cities of Yram and Tanilac respectively, in 829 BCE; the Kingdom of Mykeni, ruled from the capital city of Kiem, in 828 BCE; the Kingdoms of Nashe, Nancifra, and Neehs, ruled from the capital cities of Estraphie, Sanu, and Tosc respectively, in 827 BCE; and the Kingdom of Mor's'trah, ruled from the capital city of Respen, in 825 BCE.

Expansion of Coromae

In 829 BCE, an explorer named Vestin traveled North from the city of Coromae, initially with the intent to seek out the source of a stream bearing unusually cold and clear water. Leading four other travelers on this expedition, Vestin believed that the stream came from the North Pole, a place discussed occasionally in ancient Circlarian Imperial texts. However, three days into the expedition, Vestin and his travelers came upon the Lake-and-Pillar located in the center of nomadic Gudinian territory. Vestin wrote a report of this sighting on a scroll while his fellow travelers gave verbal testimony, later on in Coromae, to Consul office attendants who wrote down such statements. These reports were read by Consul Tirion Limus, who summoned over one-hundred fit and able-bodied travelers to accompany him to the location. Limus and the expedition arrived the place in spring 828 BCE; and Limus confirmed that the Pillar matched the description of the fabled Tower in his father's vision. He then dispatched the other travelers to divide and scout out the region, a mission that discovered ample supplies of trees for firewood and building material; lakes and rivers for fishing, fresh water, and boats; and animals for food and clothing.

In 827 BCE, Consul Tirion Limus claimed the entire region as territory of Coromae. This evoked anger among the Gudinian peoples, who had, over the previous five years, united under the Warrior-Queen: Aurea. Under Aurea's leadership, the Gudinians waged war against the Coromaeans. The Coromaean-and-Gudinian War would last until 825 BCE. In the end, owing to superior strategy and weaponry, Coromae defeated the Gudinians and ordered them to submit to their rule or leave.

Many Gudinians submitted. However, it is important to note that some fled, building ships and taking to the surrounding waters as sea peoples.
