In 2320, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good. Infighting among the higher-ups, a disorganized army, and a weak ruler ultimately led to a breaking point. The lesser breeds, tired of the Flammantia empire's tyranny, began to riot in the streets. The riots lasted several months, never showing any signs of slowing down. The ceaseless chaos in the streets provided the Deathshead raiders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- one that they took. | In 2320, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good.

The Deathshead moths were notorious raiders during the time of the Flammantia empire. They targeted everything and everyone from lowly merchants, small villages, and royalty-owned coffers. They were ruthless, cunning, and they were feared by villagers and royalty alike. However, during the riots of 2320, they sought to accomplish the greatest pillage of all: the Flammantia kingdom itself. They gathered everyone they could and stormed the Flammantia breed manor. Villagers that once feared the Deathshead raiders were fighting alongside them during this battle. After a grueling battle with many casualties on both sides, the Deathshead raiders captured His Omnipotence -- and promptly executed him. The Deathshead raiders didn't just want to loot the Flammantia breed's riches; they sought to bring back the chaotic days of old, when the strongest breeds survived, and they succeeded... for two years. | The Deathshead moths were notorious raiders during the time of the Flammantia empire.

In 2342, two breeds rose to prominence: the Regno and Candidos. The Regno rose to power through a combination of Flammantia-style slave trade and promise of a second golden age. The Candidos, distant relatives of the Regno breed who hail from the north, had a far more capitalistic approach to monarchy. They held a monopoly on medicine, a commodity that was in very high demand at the time. Over the course of over two hundred years, these two breeds started having a say in more and more global affairs, until they adopted kingdoms of their own. The Regno, with their slaves and their strong disposition for the advancement of mothkind, thrust the moths into an industrial revolution and built cities all over the world. Candidos, with their wealth and their strong drive to discover the undiscovered, was responsible for all research and development projects. With this research, they advanced the field of medicine to unprecedented levels. The moth lifespan has practically doubled since they have come into power. | In 2342, two breeds rose to prominence: the Regno and Candidos.
