| - The Tentative Years, sometimes known as the Interwar Period, was a period in Andorasi history marked significantly by change in the structure and attempted change of culture in the Kingdom of Andoras under Dragomyr rule, by the king Aegor IV Dragomyr. Immediately following the execution of Veddel Markwell and Michael Avleston on January 27, 331 AC (although some pinpoint the beginning of the period earlier), the Tentative Years period began. During the 330s and most of the 340s AC, Aegor Dragomyr sought to restore his authority, and did it in a way that was considered highly tyrannical and cruel; although, by him showing his power and authority by ultimately crushing the Farrowhalt Freehold in the 326 AC rebellion and killing their leaders, no one dared strike against him until it was considered absolutely necessary. For fifteen years, Aegor had free reign to pass whatever laws or mandates he pleased, and with no council to advise him on these matters (he had fired or executed the members of this council all by 327 AC), Andoras became more and more utilitarianist and authoritative under the chafing rule of Aegor IV Dragomyr. The realm became entirely centralized, as direct vassals no longer existed and Aegor directly claimed all land for himself in an effort to quell further rebellion; ironically, this would only be one of the many reasons that a rebellion arose. During this period, several mandates and laws were passed, all of which slowly limited the nobility and crippled the middle and lower classes. Many of the peasantry died out, being forced to provide almost all of their food directly to the state; the merchants had crushing taxes and fees to deal with, regardless of if they were of Andorasi origin or not; and the nobility, being stripped of many of their former rights and being robbed of the right to speak against the kingdom, led to a domino effect that eventually led to a second rebellion that would crush the Kingdom of Andoras, once and for all.
