The remainders of the Yamenaen army and court flee, first to Yamenna, and after multiple Wertian incursions further east to Aeros. But the Wertians, in this Olgish age of the Dawn Heroes, are nigh impossible to dismay, and in 422 B.E.B., they breach Geran with united forces, overrunning the steppes and forcing the last living nobles of Yamenna into exile in Dermon and Kalpa. It is there that they spend their last years and wield their last influence before falling prey to their own greed for power and bloody infighting. By the middle of the 4th century B.E.B., the last of the great Yamenaen noble houses has become extinct. | The remainders of the Yamenaen army and court flee, first to Yamenna, and after multiple Wertian incursions further east to Aeros.

It is thus that Geran meets a fate that has already befallen the mountains many centuries earlier and that will by the end be taken equal to the fate of Elondor itself: Invaded by Belkondilian cavalry, occupied and colonized by foreign forces, and, after only a handful of generations, by and large, an Olgish country. | It is thus that Geran meets a fate that has already befallen the mountains many centuries earlier and that will by the end be taken equal to the fate of Elondor itself: Invaded by Belkondilian cavalry, occupied and colonized by foreign forces, and, after only a handful of generations, by and large, an Olgish country. The Wertians do not take a moment to breathe. After their decisive victory over the Kattasians, they occupy Yamenna and take it as their new capital, ruling the steppes in ruthless but stable peace. They are never known to respect the borders to their neighbours, but the threat of their tireless armies and the skillfulness of their (moslty Soskish) diplomats maintain friendly relations with the Kalparians, Dermon and Parka, and the Geranians remaining in western Geran. At this point, the Wertian Kingship of Imynadd encompasses all of the Geranian Heath south of the Kalpa, north of the Ilathw, and between the Nukna and the Mountains of Dermon, and almost the southern half of the later Hajalad. | ||
-> Some conflicts, but essentially peace for a couple of centuries. | |||
-> Wertians are close with Kalparians, and the eastern Kalparians slowly assimilate | |||
-> When Enethin establishes his rule over the Olgs of Belkondíl, the Wertians silently turn down the call for their homage. They do not consider themselves part of the Olgish people as ruled from Ortûlék. Enethin is furious but their cavalry is somehting else so there's not much he can do | |||
-> Great wealth in 4th century brings influx of Belkondilian Olgish settlers (mostly from Orinion, Atrissar, and Mairn) who occupy the southern Hajalad and slowly move north, marginalizing the Hayans and western Kalparians, until Kalparian is fully extinct; Hayan and Noridic survive but are suppressed -- only Olgish should be spoken in this Olgish country | |||
-> The Wertians try to keep them under their sway, there is a bloody conflict for a century or two, ultimately the Wertians lose the Hajalad completely but keep the Heath | |||
-> Later, Geran is finally united as one Olgish kingdom, with the (olgicized) Kalparians forming a separate Kingdom on the Kalpa | |||
-> Where do the Aribelian Wars come in?# | |||
-> Finally, Lécaron of course | |||
-> And then quite a bit of stuff after | |||
