Cause → break → scar (three major arcs)

Arc	Cause	Break	Scar
1 Ashen Regency	Founder dies; no equal heir; northern Paathur autonomy + war-blood Dovjun ambition	Dual courts ~decades; abandoned outer posts	Consolidation hardens Code of Burned Stone; precedent that north can stand apart
2 Twin Pyres	Overstretch to Tovo corridor + dual power centers; succession dispute mid-peak	East Pyre (Vusokaar) vs West Pyre (Tovo marches) for decades	Tovo and western/northern marches peel; peak never recovered; map’s small Zegtuzsos polities become long-term “lost rind”
3 Aasa Civil Wars	Hollow legitimacy + Lokraasos birth vs Flame Throne monopoly + unpaid legions	Near-total collapse 9550–9600; capital contested	Empire survives smaller under Zurgaasyol; prophetic exception written into memory; purist vs reform fault line lasts into Fifth Age

Territory sketch (proposed)

Permanent heart (survives all crises)

Vusokaar and basalt plateau core
Eastern Silgolt Saarotsos clan-lands of the original forty
Integrated but subordinate Zegtuzsos near-north provinces that stayed after Great Wyrm War (not the far marches)

Founder high-water (post–Great Wyrm War, ~5905)

Full southern + northeastern eastern Silgolt dragonborn span of Kaemisyol’s generation
Paathur system preserved under empire (not erased)

Peak high-water (paper maximum, ~7800–8500, before/during Twin Pyres)

Per existing peak stub — never all of Silgolt:
- North: lands later associated with Yɔnírläht, Lekdɔzúhma
- West: corridor to Tovo and Súzyngol
- Special: Julot / Lingraasos under Nijitehk arrangement

After Twin Pyres (~8680+) — first durable shrink

Lost or reduced to client/hostile free status (map names as historical labels, not new country articles):
- Tovo (western high-water mark — secedes in practice)
- March polities in the rind: Zegkruz, Tuzraag, Siltuz, Aalhotikyn, Ohynso, Hihn, Kokit, Ygtaani, Urlyk, Ikirlyknek, Mize (and similar) — mix of free clutch-leagues, client Furaktuz who stopped answering Vusokaar, and neutral buffer towns

After Aasa (~9600–9680) — second durable shrink (near-cease then save the core)

Saved: Vusokaar + eastern core + selected loyal provinces
Not fully reconquered: most of the Twin Pyres lost rind; Aasa prioritizes unity of the spine over recovering every western watch-post
Clients: a few march lords re-swear under light tribute / military access
Hostile free: Unburned-leaning leagues remain outside; feed later “ritual rebellions” memory

Present (~13000 MV)

Empire still “mightiest” in the eastern core and institutional memory
Map fragmentation west/north of Revakgol reads as scar of empire, not random jigsaw

Aasa beat sheet (Arc 3)

Year (MV)	Age	Beat
9545	3145 AMD	Born in Imperial Palace: first Lokraasos of the imperial line. Court splits between awe (“Kaemisyol come again”) and panic (Code of Burned Stone).
9545–9550		Childhood under failing Aalki / contested regents. Prophetic pressure; Rahvulhahnu-framed visions later claimed for her.
9550	3150 AMD	Civil wars ignite in northern and western provinces (existing stub). Multiple factions form (see event draft).
~9555–9565		Empty / contested throne. Code purists refuse any non-Saarotsos succession narrative. Unburned leagues and western march lords stop tribute.
~9568–9575		Siege / dual occupation of Vusokaar (near-cease climax). Archives threatened; “empire of ashes” chronicles. Young Aasa among reformist warband / court remnant.
9575–9599		Reformist Dovjun + loyal legions coalesce around Aasa as living symbol. Campaigns reclaim roads to the capital, then break purist and march coalitions without full reconquest of old peak.
9600	3200 AMD	Proclaimed Empress Zurgaasyol, the Cleansing Flame. Reign begins (existing character).
9600–9605	end 4th Age	Emergency settlement: ceasefires, client oaths, purist exile/brand, Unburned amnesties selective. Caste reforms (bend hierarchy; do not abolish service/order).
9606+	5th Age	Stabilization continues into early ASS; Fifth Age named Gain and Loss — empire gained survival, lost illusion of endless expansion.
post-9605		Death year unknown (leave open; if later set, prefer mid–late 9700s). Legacy: savior + authoritarian; Flame Throne exception remembered as prophecy, not open precedent.

Faction map (civil wars)

Faction	Base	Wants	Fate under Aasa
Throne loyalists	Vusokaar remnant, some Dovaarein	Continuity of Kairtis line	Merge into her coalition
Code purists	Core Saarotsos	Saarotsos-only Flame Throne; reject Lokraasos empress	Broken; leaders exiled, branded, or killed; doctrine bent not erased
Northern Unburned / clutch leagues	Far Zegtuzsos provinces	Paathur sovereignty, end supremacy doctrine	Some crushed, some negotiated free/client; dual memory continues
Western march lords	Tovo corridor remnants	Independence under imperial titles	Mostly stay out; few re-swear as light clients
Reformist Dovjun	Mixed	Survive as one body	Win with Aasa

Contradiction log (for human sign-off)

Issue	Existing facts	Recommendation
Great Wyrm War dates	Myth: 1292–1330 AZN; event+military_conflict: 1269–1305 AZN	Prefer 1269–1305; leave myth as in-world exaggeration or fix myth later in separate pass
Kaemisyol death	`zelguu_kairtis`: 1426 AZN (6027 MV)	Use 6027 MV as start of Ashen Regency
Zelguu / Zelguh	Both spellings	Prefer Zelguu near character id; allow legacy “Zelguh” in older war text
Dovaarein / Dovahrein	Country uses Dovaarein; war text Dovahrein	Prefer Dovaarein in new prose
Saarotsos / Sahrotsos	Both	Prefer Saarotsos in new prose
Flame Throne Saarotsos-only vs Aasa Lokraasos	Both canon	Do not delete either. Resolve: prophetic exception + civil-war victory; purists lose the war, not the memory of the Code
Map continental % on empire entity	Irudy-heavy share flagged as needing review	Do not treat as historical truth; history stays eastern-Silgolt-centered
Peak place names Yɔnírläht, Lekdɔzúhma, Súzyngol	Named in peak stub; not all on map country list	Keep as period labels; Tovo is map-confirmed
