Madarys returns to Mydas

Life, Career

Madarys returns to Mydas (his new capital, founded in 54) to rule over his conquests. From 51 to 74, his brother Tyndaris had been in charge of administrating most of the realm. Creating many laws and perpetuating his brother's projects of cultural/social/political unifications, Tyndaris had ruled wisely, earning quite a reputation as the "Lawmaker". Even after Madarys' return (and death), Tyndaris would continue to administrate the empire (as a governor) until his own death. While Madarys (and his descendants) ruled from Mydas, the "Lawmaker" stayed in Solaris (the largest mydyan city, and old capital) to continue his work, instigating the tradition to have a governor in Solaris and a Maeqir in Mydas.
