==YP 350-462 Twin Star Empire==
The Empire now has two centres, Pasin and Hugaar in the west, and the City of Mages in the east. For a time, his works well, but a rivalry steadily grows. The Empire neither expands nor declines. In the west, the Sirdehaar tribes send much more modest forces to guard the borders from the Visters, or cease to deal with Imperial representatives in any form. Vister raids increase. To the east, the sea represents a natural barrier to expansion and citizens turn their throughts to more peaceful pursuits such as agriculture and the arts. 

A number of religious issues also threaten to divide the Empire. The comparative religious freedom is taken too far by some and the Church, based in Hugaar, grows ever less tolerant. In remote regions, heresies are preached, while in the major population centres, cults become fashionable, even among more notable families.

On the eastern seaboard, a federation of city states is created around Saphet. For the next century, the '''Sapethian Alliance''' frequently switches allegiance from Sirdehaar to Hugaar.
