The Old Era ended not with a gradual decline, but with a terrifying bang. The Grand Paradisian Conflict was not merely a war; it was an act of political annihilation that began with the terror attack at the Culmen Seniorum. This flash-point shattered the old, fragile political order & replaced it with a new, ruthless one, where only those willing to embrace technological terror could survive. This created a power vacuum that redefined the geopolitical landscape for a generation, ushering in the Age of Chaos & violently resetting the map of Paradisus.
The Political Structure of Paradisus in the Intra-Conflict Era is marked by the presence of Emerging States, Surviving States & Fallen States.
Emerging States:
- Silles - Dhae-Veu Kingdom, Vygg Hain Kingdom
- Hortris - Alha-Myns Principality, Bachluud Kingdom, Zhembougha Principality
- Sanctualis - Byslijh Archonate, Mher Hahwe Archonate, Ylouloh Duchy
- Campentes - Sheghai Junta, Qui Shoun Junta
Surviving States:
- Silles - None
- Hortris - Takh Rhung Empire
- Sanctualis - Bachluud Kingdom
- Campentes - Kharmoune Principality
Fallen States:
- Silles - Maha Shynn Empire
- Hortris - Tabbuch Empire
- Sanctualis - Urmukh Synod
- Campentes - Orukhta Kingdom
While the dramatic collapse of old empires & emergence of new ones redefined the political map, the true shift in power dynamics during this Era occurred in the shadows. The pervasive chaos allowed for the explosive growth of the Alkartilat, a loose association of organized criminal groups. They swiftly took advantage of the continental destabilization, monopolizing the flow of essential resources, weapons & finance, thus securing their position as the undisputed economic masters of the new age.
