The rival Poscaean-cultured clans of Kani and Tel emerged in the 700s BR as the largest Kingdoms to exist on Kronis up until that point. While the leaders of Kani and Tel styled themselves as Kings, their realms remained highly decentralized. The height of these primitive kingdoms reached a climax in 723 BR with all-out-war. The conflict lasted 5 years and resulted in the deaths of 100,000 warriors, or so the legend goes. The city of Poscas and the Poscaean Empire would later be founded in the same territories of Kani.
