Pre-Collapse Gisredde (concept)
'Pre-Collapse Gisredde' is the period of Gisreddean history following Pre-Pact Gisredde and the Gisreddepact. Despite the name, the end of the era did not come with Peti Gisreddean collapse, but the collapse of Chevalie in the The Brutality and Anarchy of the Five Crowns.
The Gisreddepact did little to stave off opportunistic warlords and arbitrary High Kings, beginning a cycle in which the Gisreddes would open their gates to occupiers only to destroy them from within. This would both cause and be caused by the growing concept of the Fraternity of Gisredde. The Fraternity justified Peti Gisredde in welcoming Oejeynican refugees fleeing the Sorrowing of Oejeynica, which angered the more conservative Grande Gisredde and began a long running rivalry between the two that culminated in the Coup of the Wayfathers and Grande Gisredde's independence in 889 IS.
When the mad High King Thamean massacred the assorted nobility of Chevalie to avenge his assassinated son Giliman, Chevalie collapsed into the Anarchy of the Five Crowns. The then reigning Chancellor of Peti Gisredde was among the slain, and the city fell into chaos until the Red River War which marked the beginning of Champion Era Gisredde.
