In 1702, King Riordan VII was elected Emperor Riordan I of the~~ [[~~Holy Levantine Empire~~]]~~, beginning more than a century of Urcean control over the Empire~~. During this period, dramatic changes were occurring in Urcea with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and the continued decline of the power of the ~~nobility~~, who had suffered a major blow in the [[Dragonnades]] and were continuing to weaken relative to the Crown. King Leo IV was denied the Imperial Crown, but won it on the battlefield during the [[War of the Caroline Succession]], acquiring the [[Grand Duchy of Carolina]] in the process and ensuring hereditary succession for [[House de Weluta]].
