=== Hyrettian period ===
{{main|Hyrettian period of Empherias}}Beginning with the coronation of [[Louis III of Empherias|Louis III]] and the creation of a codified constitution, this era oversaw a centralisation of Empherias, general early democratisation and it's increase in power - mainly through wars and peace agreements such as the [[1943 Waldegrave Accords]] and [[1955 Vreimer Accords]]. [[Pippin I of Empherias|Pippin I]]'s rule oversaw the creation of the modern [[Bank of Empherias]], while [[Louis IV of Empherias|Louis IV]]'s rule delegated more powers to [[Peter Mayweather|Lord Mayweather]] - one of the earliest prime ministers - letting the parliament to oversee major domestic issues. [[Elizabeth I of Empherias|Elizabeth I]] oversaw three major wars, the [[First Weskynn War|First and]] [[Second Weskynn War|Second Weskynn Wars]], and another war with [[Palakkinen]] - which massively increased the money in the treasury and secured [[Empheri language]] and cultural influences over [[Weskynn]]. [[Charlotte I of Empherias|Charlotte I]] was too young to rule and the power of the monarchy thus weakened even further, with [[George Montgomery, 3rd Duke of Aalsmeer|Lord Aalsmeer]] becoming a powerful figure in government. He orchestrated several governmental reforms including codes of conduct, the establishment of political parties, an opposition, and the [[Millenium War]] against Weskynn to secure a rebellious king.
An opposing party was formed known as the [[Rhetorist Party of Empherias|Rhetorists]], led by [[Viktoria Gascoyne]], who would occassionally win elections. A delegation to find peace with [[Koresa]] signed the [[Bartholomew Accords]], but the Rhetorists opposed this. Increasing tensions with [[Kingdom of Vreitrijk|Vreitrijk]] during this time saw the government raise thousands of troops incase of a dual invasion. After Gascoyne broke the Bartholomew Accords in 2027, Koresa invaded the towns of [[Battle of Byst|Byst]] and [[Battle of Tyrs|Tyrs]] seeing major battles led by [[Rhys Hearns|General Rhys Hearns]] and [[Mikael Pierce|General Mikael Pierce]] on the Empheri side respectively. Koresa captured both towns with general ease, and Hearns was captured and executed by Koresan forces, while they moved towards the [[River Tweight]] to push towards [[Zerwynn]]. [[Minister of Foreign Affairs of Empherias|Minister of Foreign Affairs]], and later [[Prime Minister of Empherias|prime minister]], [[Lewis Sword]] was able to broker the [[Treaty of Querença]] in 2028 which ended the war with relatively small concessions of [[Byst]] and [[Tyrs]] to Koresa. With debt up, Gascoyne was ousted by Sword - who later resigned.
[[Spencer Cunningham-Wells|Spencer Cunningham Wells]] found himself as the next prime minister and was immediately subjected to an invasion by the [[Mad Prince of Norsair]]. [[Henry Alamekas]] of the [[Royalist Party of Empherias|Royalists]] became the new prime minister and fought the [[Cunningham-Wells War]]. Throughout, he was paranoid of a Koresan attack from the west to surround Empheri forces. The [[Battle of Garlar]], the [[Battle of Peustein]], the [[Battle of Wyndheim's Hour]], and the [[Battle of Howertowall]] were all won by General [[Tyrer Wyndheim]] of Empherias and pushed back [[Kingdom of Norsair|Norsairi]] forces to their capital city, [[Noreise]]. The war would come to a close with the [[Hulgerie Accords]] being signed which cleared Empherias of a large chunk of debt from plundered town gold. Charlotte I passed away, and the accession of [[Prins Ristie]] sees the end of the era.
