Of the three Great Powers, two were destroyed. South of my homeland, the Sind Empire fell to civil war. One hundred and fourteen successors claimed the throne of Atmananda Sindh, whose pacifist reign terminated upon his assassination. In the west, the Cassandric Empire was invaded by Jola nomads from the north. Led by Slayer-of-Nations, the horse warriors scattered the army of Cassander Callinicus. They laid claim to more than half of the former empire. Song, the Great Power of the east, remained aloof. Focus on construction of a wall to keep out the horse borne of the north, along with a societal penchant for isolationism, occupied their attention. In the lesser central region known as Aryana, armed conflict also dominated. The Ghinn, arisen after generations of sleep, fought an alliance of Bastiyaan, the Phradan Tyrants, and some of the Duraani tribes. The clashes in the Sind Killer Mountains and Darya River Valley were chaotic and characterized by double crossing. Early Ghinn victories were offset when the Durrani Dost tribe abandoned the Ghinn and joined the alliance. A strategy developed by the Bastiyaani Thousand Commander Demaratus and Phrada's Commander of the Muster, the Wearer of White Cyris of Jehna, pulled a Ghinn army into a bloody stalemate below the walls, and in the streets, of Phrada. As the year reached its waning months, it appeared that equilibrium had been reached. The Catastrophe changed all. —Catrika of Jehna, A History of My Times</blockquote>
