Kaineng Tah unites Cantha into the Empire of the Dragon

510 BE (0 CC)0 CC-310 DRFirm date

The warlord Kaing unifies the warring Canthan clans into the Empire of the Dragon as its first Lord Emperor, the moment from which the Canthan calendar counts (0 CC).

Originally a warlord known as Kaing, Kaineng Tah unified the fractious human clans of Cantha into a single Empire of the Dragon in 510 BE, becoming its first Lord Emperor. So foundational was the act that the Canthan calendar (CC) reckons its years from it: 510 BE is 0 CC. The empire he founded would endure for nearly two millennia, though the Kurzick and Luxon clans would later secede to pursue their own nations.
