* '''The Dark Period''' (1172 - 1283) - Following the Great Civil War, barbarians began attacking the weakened empire; the Senate agreed to let most of its provinces become pseudo-independent states controlled by local warlords while it usurped control over Venceia and effectively reverted to being a Republican city-state. This is known as the era of the Second Republic. Eventually, Șerossaccir Odobricci, a Latino-Slavic warlord of Truřov (one of the established warlord states), began a successful military campaign of conquering his neighbors and reuniting the lost provinces of the empire. Șerossaccir would eventually march on Venceia and destroy the republic, but rather than sacking the city, he stands outside of it and accepts, under the force of arms, the title of Imperator from the Senate, who also passes a bill that makes Șerossaccir the legal heir of the last recognized Imperator, thus establishing the Third Imperium in 1283 | * '''The Dark Period''' (1172 - 1283) - Following the Great Civil War, barbarians began attacking the weakened empire; the Senate agreed to let most of its provinces become pseudo-independent states controlled by local warlords while it usurped control over Venceia and effectively reverted to being a Republican city-state.

* '''The Third Imperium''' (1283 - 1782) - This period is marked by the state's reunification, the creation of the Constitution of Caphiria, and the establishment of dozens of Latino-Slavic dynasties and cultural/political institutions. At the same time, this period features the [[Great Schism of 1615]], where a break of communion between what are now the [[Catholic Church]] and the [[Imperial Church|Imperial Church of Caphiria]] occurred.

At the same time, this period features the [[Great Schism of 1615]], where a break of communion between what are now the [[Catholic Church]] and the [[Imperial Church|Imperial Church of Caphiria]] occurred. The Great Schism played a significant role in the fall and decline of the Third Imperium. Throughout the mid to late-17th century, Caphiria lost the majority of its western territory. Known as the [[dissolution of the Western Provinces]], several countries gained their independence, such as [[Pelaxia]] in 1615 and [[Cartadania]] in 1630. The Imperium also experienced an Eastern collapse, where [[Aciria]] gained independence in 1625 and Caphiria lost a 13-year war against Veltornia in the [[Veltorine War of Independence]] in 1771. | ||
* '''The Fourth Imperium''' (1782 - present) - After the | * '''The Fourth Imperium''' (1782 - present) - After losing most of its territory and control over the continent, the Imperium went through a significant reformation period - The Senate deleted most Slavic dynasties and institutions, re-established Caphiric ruling dynasties and families, as well as forming the [[National Assembly (Caphiria)|National Assembly]] and eventually creating the [[Corcillum]]. Caphiria's role in the First Great War re-asserted it as a global power and regained hegemony in Sarpedon - it re-annexed Veltorina and instituted a diplomatic system of controlling its neighbors known as [[Imperial Diplomacy (Sarpedon)|Imperial Diplomacy]]. However, Caphiria's relationship with [[Levantia]] - specifically [[Urcea]], became increasingly hostile and Cartadania and Pelaxia began to align themselves with Levantine interests, sparking the state-sponsored propaganda [[Levantine Creep]]. | ||
