The '''Aeranid Empire''' ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|tlāna}} aerānïda}}'', <small>Classical Aeranir</small> [ˈtɬaː.na ɛːˈraː.nɨ.da]) was the post-[[Aeranid Kingdom|kingdom]] period of the ancient Aeranid culture, consisting of large territorial holdings throughout [[Epehenia]], Eastern [[Eubora]], and Northern [[Suria]], ruled by a Senate representing the [[Schools of Telrhamir]].  The Empire eventually came to an abrupt end in 1266 {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}} with [[The Collapse|the Collapse]], which devastated central [[Ephenia]], creating the [[Great Desert]], and entrapped the capital within the impenetrable [[Wall of Severence]].  There were some efforts made by the remains of the Empire to reconsolidate power, however these attempts disintegrated as local landlords, administrators, and tribal councils rose to power.  In the south, the so-called '[[Southern Aeranid Empire]],' made mostly of Anderian tribes, devolved into a loose confederacy of constantly warring feudal states.  Fyrdan invaders from the north flooded south, conquering much of [[Vall]] under the [[Antine Kingdom]] in 1140 {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}}.  The Empire in Eubora and Suria lasted longer, holding out as the [[Eastern Aeranid Empire]], until 827 {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}}, when its capital, [[Heirotophia]], was taken by [[Fasser]].

The previous [[Aeranid Kingdom]] began some time in the 23th or 24th century {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}}, with the founding of the city of [[Telrhamir]], although the exact date is unknown.  The monarchy was overthrown in 2104 {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}}, and replaced with a Senate representing the ten [[Schools of Telhramir]].  As the Empire expanded under Senatorial rule, the number of Schools increased within the city, and subordinate School systems were adopted in the conquered territories.  Eventually, one School, [[Motus Soniae]], grained predominance through strategic intermarriage and through their leaders' successful military campaigns.  In 1395 {{Smallcaps|[[New Imperial Age|bnia]]}} [[Iliana Cava]]
