The Last Ruler of the Quintesethians

Chapter 3: The Late Quintesethian Period and Coexistence with Humans and Faunus

The Quintesethians were a powerful and enigmatic race that once ruled over the land of Eclaria in the ages of Myth. While they are often remembered for their cruelty and oppression, recent archaeological excavations suggest that their rule was more complex than previously thought.

Excavations at various Quintesethian sites suggest that the Late Quintesethian Period (19 BRE to 17 AR) saw continued occupation and even expansion. Initially, many Quintesethian Archons ruled as vassals of the new human regime. In some instances, Fanastasia's Quintesethian supporters were rewarded with new lands taken from defeated enemies.

It is unclear to what extent human slavery persisted under the Elysian Empire. However, there are indications that some form of slavery persisted, particularly towards the Faunus, a feline-like race. Despite the laws enacted by Empress Fanastasia and Emperor Alistair I to end slavery for all beings, both Humans and Faunus coexisted in Quintesethian-controlled regions of Eclaria, but the exact terms of their coexistence remain uncertain.

The Late Quintesethian Period was marked by significant changes in Eclaria, both in terms of political power and social structures. Despite the fall of the Quintesethian Empire, their influence continued to be felt throughout Eclaria. The Quintesethians were known for their mastery of magic and their advanced technology, and these skills were passed down to succeeding generations.

As a result, Quintesethian sites continued to be occupied and even expanded during this period. The Quintesethians were able to adapt to the changing political landscape, and many of their archons were able to maintain their power and influence under the new human regime.

Despite the coexistence of humans and Faunus in Quintesethian-controlled regions of Eclaria, there were still tensions and conflicts between the three races. The exact terms of their coexistence remain uncertain, but it is clear that the Quintesethians played a significant role in shaping the social structures and political power dynamics of the Early 1st Epoch.

In many ways, the Late Quintesethian Period represents a transitional period in Eclarian history. The Quintesethians may have fallen from power, but their legacy continued to shape the land and its inhabitants for centuries to come. The coexistence of humans and Faunus in Quintesethian-controlled regions of Eclaria shows that the Quintesethians were capable of adapting to changing circumstances and finding ways to maintain their influence even in the face of significant challenges.
