==History==
 
Zenon's successor was his son [[Koron I]] who decided to conquer the region of Chon (now [[Chondia]]) and subjugate the [[Dukedom of Atredia|Atredian dukedom]]. King [[Bellaton the Warrior]], in 1273, organized one of the biggest military offensives up to then, brutally conquering the [[Kingdom of Karkarovia]] and even going so far as to defeat the warlike population of the Venatorians, the up to then undefeated inhabitants of the region of [[Venatoria]]. For the following centuries, however, the Kingdom would not be marked by any other expansionist campaign, focusing instead on the flourishing of culture and the arts and population growth. In particular, King [[Akrocanthia the Virgin]] devoted himself to the construction of large public works (such as the [[Axiomia Bridge]]) and land reclamation, and favored the development of the first theaters and orchestras.
 
The event that however marked the decline of the Zenonian dynasty was the civil war of 1529 between the faction of [[Koron II]] (legitimate successor to the throne) and that of [[Barossia the Poor|Barossia]] (who instead claimed the position of heir): the conflict resulted in the victory of [[Barossia the Poor]], so called because the war caused an unprecedented economic crisis in the country and a national famine. Thus, the now weakened Zenonian family lost more and more power and control over the country, ending up being expelled with the coup d'etat of 28 January, 1534 by the federalist republicans.
