Military action
The Empire's conquest changed Bonea forever, yet little is known about what truly went on.
(509) The Fae’s experiments are expensive and they asked the empire for more funding since they had made contributions in the past. When the empress refuses, her whole family is murdered(3/22/509) which they blamed on the felids, specifically the hyenas. This leads to war (3/29/509) between the hedoni and the Felidae in which their small island ends up captured, and one by one the surrounding islands are faced with hedoni occupation (3 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days) (6/18/509). The largest island contacts the mainland to acquire help. The elves fought for a bit before the Fae helped to pick them off and they retreated (five months, one week, four days) (11/28/509). The scienikes helped before their leader died (2/23/510) and the successor, a supporter of the growing empire, allied with the hedoni on the 25th. The Felidae on the few free islands, and who live on the continent help as well as the Gyps and some other boneans such as the mer. The Bovidae were eventually attacked (5/11/510) and they offered supplies and land to the Gyps in order for protection. The mer suffer major losses and retreat (6/2/510) into territory that the empire was for the most part uninterested in due to its wet/humid nature. Editting Avese here, this war should go on longer. Will shift dates around later, don't worry about for current writing can always edit dates. Rough estimate is 3 years.
