The Maithic Empire (Maithic: X) was a Maithic state established by Sãļŋàŋ after the Maithic Conquest. The Empire was founded in the midst of a war between the powerful Ankuong Empire and Qonklaks, in which the Maithics served Qonklaks as hired mercenaries. After the Qonklese treasury ran dry, and the Qonklese demanded the Maithics kept fighting, the Maithics began to carve land out of both empires. This eventually culminated in sacking of Jikhein in 1338, and the execution of the Qonklese Emperor.
After consolidating their power, the Maithics began massive raids across Western Soltenna, enriching the Maithics and bleeding the surrounding land dry. These raids would lead to massive famine across the region for almost two years, eventually striking the Maithic Empire as well.
The death of Sãļŋàŋ in 1352 lead to a a power struggle between his remaining sons, weakening the formidable military force of the empire and leaving it vulnerable to outside attack. The struggle eventually came to an end in 1353, with the election of X as the new leader.
