The Ignasdiate

The Ignasdiate was the totalitarian continental government that replaced the Yrdain Empire some years after The Third Ruin, made up of a coalition of the Fordain, Venkish and remnant Yrdain armies. Its formation ushered in a new Eian age of martial law, with the objective of colonizing the then-unnamed lands of Ahrozsia to the south of the Lands of Eons Shallow, and uniting the entire continent under one ruler.

During the turmoil following The Third Ruin, the Amberfern line of succession had been shifted due to the public disappearance of Devyntias Amberfern, and thus the title of Primonarch went to RorymIII's aunt Elythyyn, at which point, her son Atimir was named Ditarch, eliminating the still-living Devyntias' immediate claim to the Throne.
