The complete and unabridged history of Vazdimet.
Fillimet Era
The Golding Library is built to house advancements in Magic and technology seemed too dangerous to the status quo, especially the works of Arthur Golding.
Wary of political grumblings about the Golding Library, a collection of humans gather to form the Human Defense League, with the intent to defend humanity from the perceived evils of Magic.
Dissent at the Golding Library's stranglehold on new magical technological achievements expands into full-out war, with much of Fillimet choosing sides: Continue to contain the knowledge and prevent its falling into the wrong hands, or unleash the Library's secrets into the world. Those with less access to magic also band together in the hopes of avoiding the fallout of the conflict.
The current spacefaring Era of Vazdimet
The basement of the Golding Library is finally breached, ending The War for Enlightenment and ushering in a new era of magical understanding.
Growing reports of changes to the laws of magic since the end of The War for Enlightenment are conclusively proven for the first time.
Portal Travel is no longer able to reach other planes of existence, likely as a direct result of the continuing changes to Magic. Thousands are stranded away from home, with no way to return. Some blame the Human Defense League for the Great Separation. The HDL blames the newly unleashed experimental magic.
The Human Defense League, having already accepted many of the other forces attempting to defend the Golding Library from public release, and wary of Sparnell's military activities, rebrands itself into the more-inclusive Space Defense Legion. Its new mission: to protect its members from the continued squabbling of the other factions, through scientific excellence and enforced neutrality.

In response to civil unrest at home, Fleet Admiral Valcore Sil encourages the Admirals of Sparnell Fleet Command to "seek glory in the universe," turning their eyes once more toward the subjugation of their neighboring factions, particularly the Freehold planets lost during the Confederation Civil War, and the planets of the magically-inferior Space Defense Legion.
