The [[Great Civil War (Caphiria)|Great Civil War]], which began in 1127, was the culmination of over a century of constant instability within the Second Imperium. The forty-five-year long conflict was rife with multiple usurpations per year, constant insurrections from the military, and conflicts within the frontier provinces. The civil war would not end until the collapse of the Second Imperium in 1172, leaving Caphiria open to multiple attacks from barbarian armies in the frontiers in an era known as the [[Dark Period (Caphiria)|Caphiric Dark Period]].

By the end of the 12th Century, the [[Principality of Truřov]] was among the most prominent of realms in what would become Volonia during the medieval period, having consolidated its power in the past thirty years since the beginning of the Dark Period. In [[1203]], the Truřovids waged a major campaign of domination of the modern Caphiric south, including the modern provinces of [[Ranaella]] and [[Isuriana]] which would last until 1215. Although these regions had been never closely integrated into the Second Imperium, the Truřovid control from the southern coast through the central flatlands made it the emergent power in central [[Sarpedon]], one that had a degree of Imperial-descendant legitimacy. | By the end of the 12th Century, the [[Principality of Truřov]] was among the most prominent of realms in what would become Volonia during the medieval period, having consolidated its power in the past thirty years since the beginning of the Dark Period.

In [[1283]], Prince [[Serossaccir Odobricci]] took the city of [[Venceia]] following a long campaign against the Venceian Republic. Rather than destroy the city, Șerossaccir Odobricci induced the [[Senate of Caphiria|Senate]] to recognize him as ''Augustus'' and proclaim his formal adoption by the last recognized [[Imperator]] of the Second Imperium. Șerossaccir assumed the responsibilities of Imperator, moving his court to Venceia and adopting Caphiric, rather than Slavic, laws and customs for his court. The newly formed [[Caphiria#The_Third_Imperium|Third Imperium]] would nonetheless have significant political and cultural Slavic influence. Due to the conquests, most of the lands of what would become Volonia was integrated into the Third Imperium, beginning eight centuries of Caphiric rule over the region. Due to being the home region of the Odobriccis, the lands around Truřov would receive significant benefits and Imperial favoritism for the next two centuries. | In [[1283]], Prince [[Serossaccir Odobricci]] took the city of [[Venceia]] following a long campaign against the [[Venceian Republic]].
