Eithne Magocracy

The Eithne Magocracy, or more colloquially known as Eithne's Empire, was one of the rump states that came into being as a result of the dissolution of the Dominion in 3077 TC. Unlike the larger fragments that broke off within weeks to months of Ettari's death, the Magocracy was not formed until well over two decades later, in 3102, by a convocation of elven drae or magi, led by Eithne nal Ryam. Eithne herself was a very respected advisor to Ettari but found herself at odds with Eirien's senate, whom she found to be too passive when it came to dealing with the other successor states and restoring order.

She resigned from her position in 3095 and spent the better part of the next decade amassing support among the nobility as well as the magi that had survived the previous wars -- the city of Ard Maeren in particular became a haven for her supporters, and in the spring of 3102, she had sent missives to the capital, officially declaring independence from the peninsular empire.
