The Makedonian Empire (also called Makedonian Realm) was an ancient kingdom in Syara before rising to become an empire and one of the biggest powers in ancient Siduri. Makedon was originally founded by Epikharmas in 556 BCE, who established the Kineasan Dynasty that would serve as the Makedonian monarchy until 1986 CE. Home to the Ancient Makedonians, Makedon in it's earliest state was centered in northern Syara, bordered by Ruvelka to the east, Galania to the south, and Scitaria to the west.
Before the 3rd Century BCE, Makedon was one of several competing nations within Syara, taking part in the Bastarnae Invasions and the Aeclesian War, which established its reputation as a formidable military power. In 246 BCE, Orestes II ascended the throne and embarked on a campaign of conquest throughout Syara, conquering the Kydonian League and absorbing Galania into his domain. In 238 BCE Orestes began his conquest beyond Syara's borders, and in just over a decade had conquered virtually all of Ruvelka and much of modern day Allamunnika. Following his death in 199 BCE the Makedonian Empire continued to exercise control over most of northern Siduri, and in the 4th Century CE began a series of invasions of Delkora, sparking the Delkoran-Makedonian Wars, which would last until the 10th century. The Empire would later expand east into Quenmin in the 7th Century, leading to conflict with the Sabrian Empire. The Delkoran wars, combined with the Clan Invasion of 398 CE, the Sabrian Wars, and the outbreak of the Burning Plague in the 9th Century significantly drained Makedonian strength and resources, resulting in a gradual recession of Makedonian control of northern Siduri. Starting in 941 CE a series of religious conflicts with Islamic Mansuriyyah further divided Makedonian attention and resources, allowing the Arkoennite Empire to rise largely unchallenged in present day Allamunnika. By 1124 CE the Empire's borders had largely receded to the roughly modern Syara. In 1305 the Arkoennites invaded Syara and defeated the Makedonian army at the Battle of Nemaro, resulting in the subjugation of Makedon as a tributary state.
Although most historians agree on the causes of Makedon's decline, there is contention over when the empire effectively dissolved. The year 1305 CE is the most commonly cited, but has been disputed by historians, chiefly because despite being forced to pay annual tribute to the Arkoennites, Makedon's monarchy remained intact, and it retained it's own army and civil institutions. Makedon was in fact charged with keeping Syara's other kingdoms in line, bringing into question whether or not the empire actually ceased to exist after 1305. Some historians have argued that the "empire" notion ceased to be following Makedon's loss of territory beyond Syara, while others have argued that it legally ceased to exist when the Republic of Syara was founded. Still others have suggested that due to Makedon's history as an absolute monarchy, it ceased to exist only when the monarchy was dissolved at the end of the Refusal War.
Although Makedon ruled over much of northern Siduri, it's legacy and impact varied considerably. The Makedonians made little effort to integrate the people it conquered into it's domain, as there was no effective distinction between subjects of the monarchy whether they resided in Syara or beyond. Makedon itself never called itself an empire, simply referring to all territory of the King or Queen as "the realm of Makedon". For much of the empire, Makedonian rule was primarily in the form of taxation, resulting in high levels of autonomy, especially on the fringes of the empire. It has been suggested that this almost laissez faire approach is what influenced Arkoennite rule of Makedon. More directly, the empire's wars against Delkora are credited by many historians will helping to establish the common Delkoran concept of nationhood as a unified kingdom.
