	In 82-88, the ambitious Griffon King Karos I (67-126) conquered the provinces of Celdeumi, Fernesti and Rintenyela, and in 87 even besieged the city of Telmenena, though he was driven back. This humiliation sparked a revolution led by the Leturian bureaucratic and military elites, who attributed their defeat to the "backwards" state of their government, based on the "superstition" of the nyuns. They therefore forcibly retired the nyun and her family to a condition of house arrest, where the nyuns in fact continue, revered and consulted on religious matters as a source of legitimacy for the regime to this day. However, the Numaz, until then the chief (male) official of the Leturian bureaucratic administration, now took charge of all actual governing as a dictator, or perhaps as an "enlightened despot." For the next sixty years the entire state was governed around a single principle: to rebuild the Leturian army on a new, modern, non-traditional basis, and to avenge the Leturians' humiliating defeat at the hands of the Griffons once and for all.

	One of the reforms instituted at this time was the abolition of serfdom throughout the Leturian lands. Until this time, the entire state had been subdivided into family holdings, each governed by a lupiresvera, who was in her own district equivalent to the nyun. These family holdings were now replaced by mukols, or townships, in which each (tailed) person had a voice in determining the affairs of the community and helped to elect the township's leaders. The rationale underlying this reform was a military consideration: up until then, each lupir (area owned by a family) was to contribute one mounted soldier to the Leturian army in time of need; generally this was the husband of the lupiresvera. Henceforward each mukol was to produce a certain percentage of its population for the army when this was called for, thus raising the size of the army considerably. There was much talk of liberating the non-tailed population as well, which did remain the "possession" of the old lupir-owning families.

Origins of the Leturians

	Until the 700s BT, the Leturians had inhabited only [[Lunitedvima]] in the foothills of the [[Lunit Mountains]]. After the flight of the Igmerinds and Mingits, however, they rapidly expanded southwards into the abandoned territories, occupying what is now West Leturia during the years 700-630 BT. The city of Telmenena is supposed to have been founded in the year 686 BT.		Until the 700s BT, the Leturians had inhabited only [[Lunitedvima]] in the foothills of the [[Lunit Mountains]].

The city of Telmenena is supposed to have been founded in the year 686 BT.

	In the early 600s BT, the Leturians destroyed the Second Igmerind Kingdom (East Leturia) and absorbed its territory. This military action was led by the warrior-nyun Fornesvina, who then set about consolidating her realm. One of Fornesvina's daughters, the princess Durnyeli (Dirniel) married King Relandos IV of Vallaria (651-585 BT), who then established the city of Randegow in his lands to conduct land-based trade with the suddenly powerful state in the west. The descendants of the heroic Fornesvina ruled Leturia for the next several centuries and were elevated to a quasi-divine status. All major decisions were made by means of the nyun's consultation with ancestral spirits within the Grand Temple in Telmenena. This worked well as long as the realm was at peace, for the nyuns were in fact very wise. The same system applied throughout the country, which was divided into feudal holdings called circles ~~or lupirs~~ under a hereditary female leadership.

	A Vallarian (non-tailed) family called the Soptibi is known to have ruled a part of Leturia, corresponding probably to East Leturia, around the years 1430-680 BT (Before [[Tagrana]]). It is from them that the Leturians borrowed the [[Lilism\|Lilist religion]], which the Soptibi are also thought to have developed and introduced to all of [[Vallaria]] and, after the collapse of that kingdom, to [[Griffon's Aerie]]. The year 1090 BT is traditionally accepted as the date when Adrovos united the Vallarian kingdom, and Adrovos annexed the eastern parts of the Soptibi territory into the expanding new state. However, the Soptibi evidently retained their western territories (i.e., contemporary East Leturia) for another four hundred years.

However, the Soptibi evidently retained their western territories (i.e., contemporary East Leturia) for another four hundred years.

	There were two kingdoms on the territory of contemporary West Leturia as well. The north (Mazekena) was inhabited by a people called the [[Igmerinds]] (also called Gemarinds), and the south (Nyizkeni and Nodekveba) by the [[Mingits]]. Both were of considerable antiquity, and Ikmirin (i.e., Igmerind), a suburb of [[Telmenena]], is thought to have been the site of the Igmerind capital city. Both peoples were virtually wiped out around the years 720-710 BT by the advance of a confederation of nomadic tribes from the far west. The Mingits who managed to escape fled into southern [[Vallaria]] and eastern [[Sardvimi]], where their descendants live to the present day as a sort of lower caste among the rest of the human (non-tailed, non-[[Griffons\|Griffon]]) population. The Igmerinds, and some Mingits, flocked en masse into the Soptibi lands, where they were given refuge as the Soptibi managed to put a stop to the advance of the nomads. However, the enormous increase in population due to the refugees destabilized the fragile Soptibi state, which was also involved in supporting an unsuccessful rebellion in Vallaria at about the same time. The Igmerinds seized power in the Soptibi lands around 680 BT and established a Second Igmerind Kingdom there, which survived for about fifty years but never managed to become a stable country.
