With Scaelor on the verge of fragmentation, a new reform movement emerged, spearheaded by a young and ambitious Sovereign determined to reclaim the throne’s lost power. The Third Founding was declared, enacting sweeping changes to recentralize control over the kingdom:

1. The Electorate’s Authority Was Curbed: While the right to elect a Sovereign remained, the council’s ability to override royal decrees was restricted, ensuring that the Wyrmthrone held true executive power.
2. The Legions Were Reformed: Military generals were forced to swear direct loyalty to the throne, breaking the trend of autonomous warlords rising from the ranks.
3. The Provinces Were Reorganized: The Legate-Governors were required to answer directly to the monarchy, preventing local rulers from acting as independent kings.

Though these reforms restored a sense of unity, they did not erase the deep-rooted tensions within Scaelor. The Electorate still seeks to reclaim its influence, while ambitious generals quietly gather strength, waiting for a moment to challenge the Wyrmthrone once more.
