====== Steel Era ====== The **Steel Era** is used by historiographers of the [[geopolitical:empire:|Imperial]] tradition to represent the Empire's silver age; though far from its heights in the [[history:glory_era:|Glory]] and [[history:sky_era:|Sky]] Eras, it was a second period of peace and firm government under the [[family:Eighth House]] after the tumult of the [[history:Storm Era:]]. It is followed by the [[history:Vigil Era:]]. The [[geopolitical:Citadel:]] is founded in the midst of the [[geography:sekhaa:region:spine_of_sirdanth]] by a group of approximately a hundred [[Chosen:]] refugees. The [[geopolitical:Queendom of Light Unobstructed:]] in the [[geography:sekhaa:region:brightness]] collapses amidst plague and civil war, with the [[geopolitical:queendom_of_light_unobstructed:Radiant Queen|Radiant Queens]] reigning in name only and power in the hands of warlords. {{tag>wip}}
