In his absence, the Dragonriders had declared martial law and jointly ruled with the cult of Tiamat and the Priesthood of Bahamut in his stead called the Triarchy. With his return, the tensions in Draconyt were relaxed, but not for long. A series of raids from the Jade Empire tested the young Dragon, forcing him to develop a standing army and navy. To incentivize the lower classes into recruitment, a rank system was implemented, guarantying a pension upon retirement and respect from the ruling classes. This innovation resulted in increased stability amongst the populace but came at the cost of power from Sahqonah. In the year 7231, settlers from Pallen began claiming land along the Northern and Western Coast. Hostilities would have broken out, were it not for diplomacy of several admirals and generals with Pallen; drafting a treaty that ensured that each community was neither ruled by Pallen nor Draconyt, but to exist as independent city states. This treaty was ratified and approved by the Triarchy, who themselves presented the treaty to Sahqonah. Sahqonah was enraged by this circumvention of his authority, but when told that any assault he undertook against the free cities would be without support or protection, he withdrew to his newly crafted lair in the desert and brooded. Over time, he returned to his people and ruled, albeit with a stiff merciless justice, never forgetting those who betrayed his trust. He was lost in the great Sandstorm of 7573, whilst trying to find its cause. His remains were never found.

    The Age of Strunkoraavqo
    Political event

    Year 7580-Present: For seven years the Triarchy sought out their ruler and until a young Strunkoraavqo was found, Sahqonah was believed to be in his lair. With no body to reconnect with, Strunkoraavqo was presented with the much-deteriorated heartstone of Chrysophax, which provided her with limited insight into her position. Nonetheless, she grew adept at the politics of her nation, wresting power from the Triarchy by pitting them against each other and developing a rapport with the military. By the time she reached adulthood, she had garnered near unilateral power in her realm. She would need this power in the centuries ahead, as she was faced with a new threat. As the desert became more inhospitable, strange human tribes never before met would raid her westernmost lands, claiming inhabited territories from her folk. In retaliation she subjugated them, only to find a new threat in the desert. Massive sandworms, some half a mile long, have made trade across the desert dangerous. As she enters the prime of her life, the blue queen is poised to declare total war...
