The empire would last untouched for almost 100 years, until the Morosians grew large enough to challenge them. In the mid 200s, AR, a faction or aristocrats were upset with the inactive leadership. In truth, the Philamon rulers were focused on inwards stability and diplomacy - managing the new Poscaian subjects. Still, this did not stop a royal coup, headed by a courtier named Vekhmenos, who then founded the Vehkmenon dynasty.
In 278, the people found the Vehkmenons to be almost equally as inept in their ruling, and attempted to overthrow the aristocracy, organized by various citizens who sought power. However this failed, and only contributed to further internal discord. Due to this discord, the Morosians managed to outright declared war on the Seleutines, under the new leadership of Cracer Manorion. The pressure between the Morosians to the west, Siparians in the east, and Aomekions in the south was too much and the empire proceeded to shatter over the next decade, drawing the empire close back to its original borders. They eventually conceded to annexation by Morosia in 360 AR.

History
The Seleutine Kingdom became the seat of one of the largest empires after being provoked by the Poscaians. Some may say the Seleutine Kings were simply waiting for the Poscaians to give them a righteous casus belli to retaliate. Under the leadership of general Konstantine, the Poscaians capitulated in a matter of 20 years.The empire would last untouched for almost 100 years, until the Morosians grew large enough to challenge them.

The Battle of Mano
In the year 14 AR there occurred the most decisive battle in the Poscaea-Seleutine war. King Rocco had moved his main army to Acaros (now called Siphai), hoping to confront Seleutine general Konstantine at Ayla. However, excellent defense and harassment of the Poscaean army in Seleutine territory slowed them down. Meanwhile Konstantine took his army south and quickly captured multiple weakly garrisoned settlements, working his way up to Mano. Once Rocco captured Ayla, he quickly turned back to intercept Konstantine. Here, Rocco was soundly defeated - due to facing the Seleutines in open combat for the first time and losing the classic Poscaian tactic of surprise.
