United Candaran Empire

The United Candaran Empire was once one of the biggest countries on the continent. It was founded in EF 1. The King wanted to create a single country and unite it, as the North had just been scattered villages and city-states before, weak and vulnerable to invasion, as displayed by _. When it was founded, the King had a new calendar created, which spread throughout the continent and became commonplace. At the empire's peak, it's territory stretched from the eastern corner of Lake Batari to the Eastern Sea. However, several hundred years into it's creation, the Candaran Empire captured the area south of the Valley of the Lost. This and other factors such as small wars, and even an attempted coup de' ta stretched the country and its military too thin. This, combined with the Candarans failure to adopt the new inventions of muskets and black powder, would be their downfall. This was displayed when Nauri attacked the southern part of the empire and easily captured it, with the help of musketeers. This drove the Candarans out of the South completely, and General _ was captured, along with most of his fleet. The remaining Candarans hastily withdrew from the area. The Candaran Empire realized its mistakes, and began reforming their military, and researching guns. They found that their lands heavily lacked the necessary ingredients for black powder, and were consequently forced to trade for it with the neighboring country of Syfen. After manufacturing thousands of muskets, the Candarans invaded the western side of the _, managing to land and capture a port city. They trusted inland, toward the capitol, but their success was quickly ended. Their invasion fleet was destroyed by early cannons deployed by the _, and the Candaran's invasion force became stuck there. After fierce fighting in _, the Candarans were driven back to the port city, and were besieged from land and the ocean for eight days, until they surrendered. After this great defeat, the Candarans knew that they had to change.The Candarans successfully compromised with the _, getting their surrendered troops back. They subsequently made a treaty with _, returning their captured land. Then, the monarchy system was converted into a congress of leaders, called the Council of Nine.The country was renamed to the New Candaran Empire, and under this new rule, it thrived for many years, once again.
