The Age of Broken Crowns (3,000 - Long Sorrow)

The Age of Broken Crowns, the current age of Aosha, marks the early empire's coming into maturity and the eventual, predictable ends as a consequence their own swollen expansionist weight. The great empires, for a variety of reasons stretching from resource exhaustion, trade fueds and outright wars over territory and conquests around the world, fall into staggered collapses in response to culminating internal tensions and stressors. The Crimson Sucession, also sometimes simply referred to as the Succession, describes the roughly 300 years of battles and geographically shifting lines as the last gasps of the great empires battled to retain identity, with successors rising and falling and warlords dragging banners and armies across bloody fields in the name of their families or the promise of restoring old empiric glory.
