=The Founding=
[[File:Tabula Gloria Empire Key.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Locations within the Empire]]Though the story of exactly which of the Old Empires first took over the Central Lands depends on whichever source it is found in, what is agreed on is that the occupation of the Central Lands sparked the terrible '''Three-Way War'''. The War was fought over generations, weakening the Old Empires until they destroyed themselves. One gave up on the war and sought to conquer the heavens instead, with disastrous results. Another partook in mass ritual suicide out of shame until there was no one left. The third became divided, fighting each other until they dragged their realm down with them.

Despite all the bloodshed, what remained in their wake were the seeds of the next age in the history of the world. During the Three-Way War, people from the Old Empires migrated to the Central Lands, mingling with the few remaining tribal folk remaining. After the War ended with the destruction of the Empires, the Central Lands became peaceful once more. A new society was slowly brewing in the melting pot that ensued, eschewing the worship of the gods of the Old Empires and replacing it with a devotion to the survival of the people through service. Time marched on and the new society continued to develop until a man codified the goals of this new society.

This man came to be known as '''Margurim par’Channar''', the honored Founder of what would come to be the Empire of For’Channar. He would rise to lead the new society with his code, later called the '''Founder’s Legacy''', in hand. Slowly, the structure of the society came to resemble that of the Old Empires, departmentalizing the functions of government but still keeping the spirit of the Founder’s service-oriented philosophy. However, For’Channar would prove not to be the idyllic utopia Emperor Margurim I envisioned it to be from his lofty throne at the capital of Tabula Gloria. The Empire would inevitably expand. Wars would be fought. Alliances would be made. Obstacles would have to be overcome. But thus far, the Empire is largely successful. It still exists today.
