The Hundred years war between Rathankot and Sanyukt ends with borders similar to modern-day borders of the Union States of Rathankot and Sanyukt. The war devastates the economies of both Rathankot and Sanyukt, forcing them to devote resources to recovery for decades.

1435 Pinjar Raj re-established by Rathankot and Parsa Presidency
1440-1452 12 Years War In 1440, Rathankot and Harringhata wage war against Sanyukt. Harringhata seeks to protect itself against Sanyukti naval domination and Rathankot seeks to obtain a land corridor to the sea. In 1452, at the Congress of Bishnupur, the major powers agree to end the war and re-establish the Rajadom of Chanak to act as a neutral buffer between the three powers.
1501-1506 Bishnupur Crisis In 1501, High Priest Mathur IV of the Holy State of Bishnupur dies and the Grand Council begins the process of electing a new leader. In 1502, after months of inconclusive votes, Naranya I is elected High Priest of Bishnupur. His election is highly divissive and leads to his assassination 2 months later. Amidst the chaos, the Principality of Nakhtrana and United Provinces of Kendra Pradesh secede from Bishnupur. In 1504, the continued chaos engulfing Bishnupur and the resulting absence of religious authority leads the Sanyukti Empire to invadde Bishnupur to establish order and security. Bishnupur is made a protectorate under the Sanyukti Empire. In 1506, Mathur V is appointed High Priest of Bishnupur by Rajaram IV of Sanyukt. Rajaram IV changes the Laws of Bishnupur to ensure the High Priest of Bishnupur is appointed by the Emperor of Sanyukt rather than the Grand Council of Priests.
1508 Princess Lakshmi, only daughter of Emperor Rajaram IV of Sanyukt, and Prince Prakash, eldest son of King Baibhav II of Sangam, marry.
1512-1516 Rathani-Nakhtranan War Rathankot invades Nakhtrana and makes inroads but is halted at the Naratha River, less than 5 miles from the Nakhtrana capital of Thimpar. No decisive winner following the battle of Thimpar. Nakhtrana surrenders and Rathankot annexes all Nakhtrani lands south of the Naratha river.
1518 Rise of Lakshmi the Great Princess Lakshmi anointed Empress of Sanyukti Empire following the death of Rajaram IV. The smaller northern Madhyarajyas swear fealty to Empress Lakshmi in order to avoid war.
1525 Smaller Madhyarajyas which failed to swear fealty to Empress Lakshmi are invaded and annexed, including Jhanaghar.
1528-1534 Lakshmivirud Wars In 1528, Lakshmi invades and annexes the southern, neutral Rajadom of Chanak. In response, a coalition is formed and led by Rathankot to oppose Lakshmi. In 1530, the coalition is defeated and the Madhyarajyas of Jhanaghar and Chanak, and northern territories of Harringhata, and western territories of Rathankot, are annexed by Sanyukt.The economic cost of the war leads to the collapse of Rathankot into a republic which is quickly overthrown by the military to form a military junta. In 1532, a second coalition is formed against Lakshmi. The coalition forces the Sanyukti forces out of Harringhata, Rathankot and Chanak but fail to liberate Jhanagar. Peace is declared in 1534.
1536 Return of the Rathani Monarchy Prince Devdhar returns to Rathankot following self-imposed exile after the overthrow of his family in 1530. Popular support for Devdhar from the common people and nobles, who were taxed heavily under the military junta, help Devdhar overthrow the military junta. Devdhar names himself King of Rathankot and re-establishes the monarchy.
1538 Devdhar and Lakshmi sign a treaty of friendship ending centuries of hostility
1560 Death of Empress Lakshmi Empress Lakshmi dies and is succeeded by her eldest son, Sooraj II. Sooraj, seen as an academic unlike his ancestors, ushers in a new era of peace and enlightenment across the Madhyarajyas. The peace between Sanyukt and Rathankot and the absence of a pro-expansionist Emperor of Sanyukt results in decades of peace across the Madhyarajyas and causes a false sense of security to guide decision making in royal courts.
1633 Rise of Gurkhan The rise of Gurkhan in the Togoti Khaganate spreads fear amongst the Madhyarajyas due to his expansionist plans. Gurkhan's early military victories strike fear in the Madhyarajyas and with his path directed towards the Madhyarajyas, the Madhyarajyas seek to reverse the demilitarisation they implemented over the last 20 years.
