The Emperor returns from centuries of silence and calls for the leaders of all of the factions to meet in the Imperial Project. Citing the widespread violence and disorder a number of leaders are exiled for their speculated involvement in crimes or as a method to purge alleged threats to the ancient rite. Seeing this as a sign that legitimacy had crumbled, the Emperor declares himself the last to be born into the title, and declares the Organic Law system and the Governor system to be dead and void. He declares it the duty of the Council of the Crowned to rebuild a new system relevant to modern needs. In the process, the long-trusted Elenyians and the Hrynjandi tribe are invited into the Council of the Crowned as legitimate Kingdoms.

Instead of marching on the central kingdoms, Antheron instead chooses to march the army west to meet some unknown threat. //September 2013// | + | * **Owl-03-03** (234 A.I.): With the Regent in absence a series of terrorist attacks sweeps Old Hermertia leading to an atmosphere of suspicion and angst marking the beginning of [[wiki:events:unraveling|The Unraveling]].

This is the first time the term 'Duchy' appears in Hermertian historical records since the Cycle of the Snake. From this point forward, the Regent declared the Kingdom of Minerva to be known as the Petty Kingdom of Minerva, and encouraged his peers to embrace a similar humility. | * **Owl-03-05** (246 A.I.): The aging Emperor passed away, leaving a new Regent and a larger Council of the Crowned to monitor the transition to a new cycle.
