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 Sẽ Kai. 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. X

History
The Maithic Conquest
During the 14th century, Qonklaks had been struggling with the newly formed Ankuong Empire, which consumed West Soltenna and threatened Qonklaks' hegemony and tributary relations. This lead to an eventual war between the two powers in 1336. Despite the extraordinary power of the Qonklese military, they were badly organized, and hastily forced into battle, leading to major defeats across the Maithic Plains. These defeats forced Qonklaks to hire the Maithics as mercenaries, who were highly effective against (whatever tactics or troops the Ankuong used). This lead the war turning in Qonklaks' favor, with the entirety of the Maithic Plains retaken by 1336, at the cost of the Qonklese treasury. When Qonklese Emperor Sẽ Kai demanded that Sãļŋàŋ's army continue to fight voluntarily, and without pay, the Maithics quickly began to seize surrounding lands from the unprepared Qonklese. The onslaught lasted two years, with both the Ankuong Empire and Qonklese Empire crushed under the momentum of the Maithic armies. After the fall of Jikhein in 1338, Sãļŋàŋ's men proclaimed him the X of the Maithic Empire; according to legend, the ceremony took place in the still-burning palace of Jikhein.
