Era beginning/end
The Faland Republic had fallen and the empire had been born.
The Faland Republic was mired in corruption and decadence. This resulted in a civil war that destroyed the republic and created an empire. This empire lasted for 200 more years; however, it grew overconfident after driving off the Third Drow Invasion and ended up overextending itself. Barbarians invaded and took over. Some houses, such as Redfield, survived the collapse while others were destroyed utterly.
