Wyvrenan Dynasties

The Wyvrenan Dynasties is the name given to lines of the ethnically Cielenvonian monarchs which ruled Wyvrena during the Dynastic Age. For a period of roughly 400 years, from the early conquests of the peninsula by Vivaine Wyvren in 5 BW until the overthrow of Jeshumach Wyvren III by the First Trubinal.

## Order of Succession

* First Dynasty
	+ Vivaine Wyvren conquers the peninsula and establishes the Kingdom of Wyvrena
	+ Vivaine is succeeded by Jesumach Wyvren I who rules until his death from dysentery
	+ Rhivane Wyvren, also known as "Rhivane the Wise," rules for 60 years and under her leadership the Alchemist Guild is established
	+ Jesumach Wyvren II, Rhivane's adopted son, finally defeats the Sotan Khanate and falls in love with Kheska Sotan during the surrender negotiations, inspiring the events that lead to the epic poem "The Five Petals of The Desert Flower"
	+ Sholtari Wyvren reigns as a young man for only a few years before he is banished by the rival house of the Subyren
* Second Dynasty, also known as the Subyren Period
	+ Kitamirine Subyren, an older cousin of Sholtari, takes the throne
	+ Rhivane Subyren, also known as "Rhivane the Cruel" or "Rhivane II," succeeds Kitamirine and begins a crackdown on dissenting philosophies and theologies
	+ Delthome Subyren succeeds Rhivane II and continues her inquisition while also secretly employing a heretical cult to create "superweapons" in fits of paranoia (the source of several dangerous relics)
	+ Kitamirine Subyren II, also known as "Kitamirine the Meek" ends the inquisition builds The Reliquary to serve as a place of protection for objects of cultural significance; he leaves no heir
* Third Dynasty
	+ Verolas Wyvren emerges at the noble council bearing the sword of Jesumach II, proving her place as rightful heir to Vivaine Wyvren; she establishes a new lineage and is generally loved by the people
	+ Tintume Wyvren inherits the throne and his love of hunting leads him to make the crownlands protected territory
	+ Ristoval Wyvren inherits the throne from her father and was well known as a patron of arts and culture, fostering the career of such luminaries as Bruno Makhaavio the philosopher and Bellafir Kimst the poet
	+ Tantor Wyvren inherits the throne from his mother Ristoval, but none of her taste for learning or art. His mishandling of a food shortage led to a devastating famine that killed many Wyvrenans, destabilizing the region in a way that caused the Alchemist Guild to take notice of its ability to shape power
	+ Vivaine Wyvren II inherits the throne from his father, but mostly just abuses alchemical drugs and is easily overthrown in a coup by his sister Verra Wyvren and the Alchemist Guild
	+ Verra Wyvren rules for a good long time, but in her later years her senility leads her to entrust rule of the kingdom to the Order of Oniya; Lama Mirch Koto attempts to establish religious rule, but the Alchemist Guild eventually installs Verra's granddaughter Militec Wyvren on the throne, narrowly avoiding bloodshed between the two groups
	+ Militec Wyvren, also known as Militec the Industrious refortifies the Wyvrenan Palace (which later becomes The Tribunal), creates the Sea Barracks, and begins rebuilding the Steppe Wall before she dies of pneumonia
	+ Militec's Niud husband, Kisache Wyvren abdicates the throne to a distant noble cousin of Militec's, in order to avoid turmoil, thus ending the Third Dynasty
* Fourth Dynasty, also known as "The Waning Twilight" or "The Period of the Waning Twilight"
	+ Trandulus Wyvren accepts Kisache's abdication and respects the terms of that abdication for the rest of his life, but his ambitious son thinks that the implicit treaty grants too much autonomy to the outer territories
	+ When Trandulus' son, Jesumach III takes the throne, his oppressive policies toward the denizens of the outer territories (and even of the Alchemist Guild) put him in an unpopular position. The First Tribunal is formed with the help of the Alchemist Guild and Jesumach III is overthrown and slain.
