Background
Prior to the Asuran Revolutionary Wars, the Empire of Lhedronna had been a fairly disunited state, gradually ceding autonomy to its constituent principalities and Kingdoms. Although nominally the Emperor of Lhedronna was still head of state and controller of much of the Royal demesne around Lhudas, the various constituent members of the Empire held a great deal of autonomy. Much of this autonomy came from the Lhedronnan Wars of Religion, with member states having a great deal of independence in matters of religion and military and diplomatic affairs.
However the onset of the Asuran enlightenment saw regionalist and nationalist movements gain momentum within Lhedronna. Recent military defeats at the hands of Pandirossa had seen large swathes of Galysar and Rakhakhmartakh ceded to the Eastern Empire. Without a unified structure to maintain the empire many saw it doomed to fail and instead sought to establish a newly unified Empire of Lhedronna. Many intellectuals throughout the region began seeing themselves not as 'Azgaardti' or 'Galysaran' by as 'Lhedronnan', with notable writers and philosophers pointing out the joint heritage of the Lhedronnan regions, calling for a codified 'Lhedronnan language' and a more centralised structure centred on the Imperial capital of Lhudas
