The Zenithian Great Secessions

Political event

The Empire of Zenith was a dominant power for many centuries, taxing trade through their territory and growing rapidly in wealth and power. It was not to last, and all tales of great power eventually come to an end. As Zenith grew powerful, so too did it grow decadent, and its political control of its various territories began to wane. The territories of Durgheim , and Draioch in the eastern provinces, as well as Il Paraonde and several small cities in the western provinces, seceded from Zenith, due to lack of leadership and extreme taxes. At the time, dubbed the Great Secession, Zenith did not have the military might to forcefully reclaim the lost provinces, and left only with its core territory, became the Kingdom of Zenith.
