The most significant challenge faced by the ''Decemfidelis'' was the scandal surrounding Dominio Ascellardi. Ascellardi, a charismatic member from the senatorial class, tried to leverage his position within the ''Decemfidelis'' to force a marriage with Iriana Lafiasceri, a prominent noblewoman from Venceia, against her will. The incident led to public outrage, with many seeing it as a symbol of the ''Decemfidelis''<nowiki/>' corruption and detachment from the people's concerns. The situation was further exacerbated when it was discovered that Ascellardi had been embezzling state funds for personal use. Rahla quickly purged Ascellardi from the ''Decemfidelis'' and subjected him to a public trial, where he was found guilty and exiled. Rahla introduced reforms within the ''Decemfidelis'', establishing checks and balances to prevent any individual from gaining disproportionate power. Despite this incident, the ''Decemfidelis''<nowiki/>' overall contribution to the empire was viewed positively, particularly their legal code, which would go on to influence Caphirian laws for centuries. | The most significant challenge faced by the ''Decemfidelis'' was the scandal surrounding Dominio Ascellardi.

The turbulent years of the Purists and the ''Decemfidelis'' set the stage for a profound transformation in Caphirian politics. The efforts of Rahla and the ''Decemfidelis'', despite their challenges, sowed the seeds for a more centralized, unified governance system. With the foundation laid by Rahla's leadership and the guidance of the ''Decemfidelis'', the stage was set for the establishment of the Second Imperium. | |||
