In the 1090s, the Kingdom of Culfra began to openly discuss separating from the Empire altogether or deposing the Collegial Electorate in favor of a hereditary northern King, and by 1096 began to march for Corcra. The Emperor, Charles II Luciusian, citing the recent canonization of Saint Julius I, the pious prestige accrued during the recent Crusade, and the considerable lands and titles his successors had acquired, offered Prince-Archduke Riordan of Urceopolis a Kingship of his own in exchange for his support. Specifically, the Emperor proposed dividing western Kingdom of Dericania into the newly formed so-called Imperial Kingdom of Urcea, a legal entity within the Empire alongside the Royal title. Riordan accepted, and Emperor Carles II issued the Golden Bull of 1098, which created the Kingdom and consolidated all of Riordan’s holdings under him and compelling the other vassals in the region to be nominally subservient to him. With the support of Urcea, the Imperial faction won the war. | In the 1090s, the Kingdom of Culfra began to openly discuss separating from the Empire altogether or deposing the Collegial Electorate in favor of a hereditary northern King, and by 1096 began to march for Corcra.

By the 12th century the Luciusian Dynasty had conquered portions of the Western Kingdom of the Levantines, bringing the empire in possession of a great portion of the lands of Great Levantia. At this point the Empire was truly a continental power and began to define Levantia in terms of its dominance of it. The Luciusian Dynasty built a series of walls to protect the Empire’s new northern borders and everything beyond them were ‘’Ultramurus’’ later ‘’Ultmar’’ (Eng: beyond the wall). This dichotomy persists even unto this day to refer to those lands that were at one point in time part of the Gallo-Latinic, Catholic, Empire.
