==YP 149-312 Renewal, Conquest and Expansion==
One of the usurper's first acts is to put the majority of the Empire's bureaucrats to the sword, in a week which turns the '''river ????''' red. The survivors are put to work reconstructing an administrative system but it is stretched to the limit. 

The Emperor's right hand man is the Archon '''(name???)''', a theologian of note who is later canonized. Although the Emperor's reach is weakened by the thinly stretched administration, the Church is considerably strengthened through a series of reforms, most notable of which is a new freedom of worship across the Empire. The Church is revitalised and, led by several new orders of holy knights and renewed enthusiasm on the part of the Sirdehaar tribes, the Empire begins a new period of expansion and conquest.
