The Illiurset Dynasty or Second Empire replaced the Dene'Illar Dynasty after the Taran Civil War in 1427.Atragim kir Illiurset, the crippled son of Kasim kir Dene'Illar became the first Emperor of the Second Empire, but essentially his aunt Silana kir Tanjal awna Dene'Illar remained in power untill her death. Under her guidance the Reformation of the Empire followed the Civil War and centralised the structure of the whole Empire, so that many people speak of the Dene'Illar and the Illiurset Dynasty Empires as two different states.
