An alliance of the kingdom's mightiest warriors and mages collectively seizes power as the Council of Twelve. The council banishes both contenders for the throne (the sister and the heir of the recently deceased brother) and ends the civil war. They permit the twins' younger sister Kensha to be crowned but the monarchy is reduced to a figurehead. A period of stability, prosperity, and exploration begins.

The exiled male heir founds the House of Charlast.
