The Age of Ink and Gold (Legal Era) (concept)
The Era running from the end of the Mamur of the West in 678 to the infamous year 802. Though the West had collapsed, the Mamurs of the Center and the East thrived during this period. Much of Wardenite high legal and court culture first emerges during this time, as the two Mamurs competed for access to scholars and artists. The era saw schools multiply like rabbits, as what was in disfavor in the court of one Mamur was often consciously supported in the competing court. Traditionalism first began to diverge from the Mainline A'Bajjarmi'a in this age. Indeed, it was in 732 that the scholar Laylam bint Ashafara first coined the term. Though she meant it as an insult, it soon caught on among those dissident scholars who disagreed with the growing power of the Mamurs.
