The '''Aeranid Empire''' ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|tlāna}} aerānida}}'', <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]].
