| - The most ancient of the nations on Crystaldeep, the Vendian Empire is the merger of the three strongest kingdoms on the continent of during Crystaldeep's feudal era. In early 18,865 GST (29795-07 DT), the royal houses of Engel, Rosencra and the Theocracy of Lamnia, tiring of war after pointless war between their three nations, agreed, with the accession of Vitora I to the Engelian throne, to unite their three kingdoms under her crown, the Engelian royal family, through thousands of years of intermarriage, conquest and inbreeding, being the inheritors to the Rosencran and Lamnian thrones as well, the first Concordat of Shallowmarine in the fifth month 18,868 (29801-01 DT) formalizing this arrangement as the Vendian Empire, the Empire continuing to be governed by this and successive Concordats to this day. The Empire swiftly went on to establish colonies on the continents of North and South Astion, the Imperial colonies on the western coast of North Astion acheiving independence as the United Provinces of the West(UPW), during the War of Western Independence—or, according to most Vendians, the War of Western Aggression—the Empire and the UPW destined to clash again, first, during the First Astionian Conflict(19,101-19,103 GST), provoked when the Westies attempted to forcibly annex the newly-independent South Astonian nations, and then, fifty years later, during the Second Astonian Conflict, when the UPW leadership attempted to crush their southern and eastern provinces after they objected to the Western government's policies of slavery, imperialism, and economic discrimination. This bloody five-year conflict resulted in an especially humiliating and bitter defeat for the Western forces at the hands of Imperial troops and the military of what was to become the United North Astion Trade Agreement(UNATA), a defeat which has embittered the UPW towards the Vendian Empire to this day.
