[edit] First Empire under Emperor Senedas
- 222: The First Empire is established, via a coup de 'etat by General Senedas, who then crowned himself emperor. The military threw its weight behind the emperor and crushed a series of ill-fated rebellions.
- 223: Emperor Senedas declared that he interpreted the religion's tenets as a need to come to peace with the surrounding political forces.
- 226: The consolidation of the religion's power was nearly complete only one year later when an opposition group believing the Union to be subverted by Muka'mador was crushed in its nascent stage.
- 229: Emperor Senedas ordered the forced conversion of everyone to adopt the new religion, named Unionism because it was an altered form of the Serdian religion tuned for the needs of the state. Those who resisted were executed as heretics.
- 231: Emperor Senedas saw the religion's tenets as a need to develop more of the surrounding lands for cultivation, and thus launched an ambitious project toward that end.
- 234: A small band of rebels attempted to establish another spinoff of the Serdian religion that placed the individual at the forefront of the faith. It rapidly grew in size, but when the government troops came in, the rebellion was quickly crushed. The new religion was outlawed.
- 236: Emperor Senedas saw the religion's tenets as a need to expand the society and culture of the Union's citizens, and sent missionaries to the surrounding lands to bespeak good of the First Empire.
- 239: Emperor Senedas saw the religion's tenets as a mandate to strengthen the bureaucracy of state. The state thus turned from despotism to bureaucratic despotism--hardly a change for the better for the masses.
- 240: Emperor Senedas saw the religion's tenets as a mandate to strengthen the military forces of the state to defend from invasions. During his last few years, the military tripled in size.
- 245: Emperor Senedas finally died, from friendly fire during a visit to a military barracks training session.
