Reign of Trials

The Reign of Trials was a reign from the 8th century BCE to the 5th century CE centred on Varasan and Carsa around the Confluent Seas. It is mainly associated with the establishment of rigorous, complex, yet independent religious and legal systems influenced by if not adhering to Pastism across the civilized world. The most famous and influential example of this was the White Order, the Pastic hierarchy which overrode and dictated state affairs to provide the Confluent world with a remarkable degree of political unification. Beyond the White Order itself, the Reign's central feature and technology, an independent and sovereign legal sphere of society, was in most cases a driver of the breakdown and weakening of states from the previous Reign of Lamps, but at the same time shared systems of 'universal law' allowed for the wedding of new, larger units which the Pastic system represented.
