5th century

The 5th century in Helerin was marked by significant power struggles, primarily involving Tekkaron of Teros and the emerging dominance of Forbin. As Tekkaron sought to expand his influence, he encountered resistance, leading to a series of conflicts that would shape the political landscape of the region. These confrontations set the stage for future territorial disputes and laid the groundwork for the eventual rise of more centralized powers in the archipelago.
