The Tensan Reformation is the official name to the civil war that would give rise to the Empire of Tensa.

History

Several decades after the founding of the Tensa Collective, many of the vital resources within the collective had come under the control of only a few scattered families and organizations. Armed with the resources to form small, private armies to enforce their control at gunpoint, these families would push for greater and greater influence within the Tensa Collective. However, what had started as a collectivist movement was inherently against this. Unwilling to compromise, the various families banded together in order to maintain their monopoly, giving rise to armed conflict.

The formal start of the Reformation is a small but bloody protest on Dracar, against the stakeholder of a resource critical to the production of basic household goods. Faced with an unruly mob, the stakeholders deployed their private army, leading to bloodshed and over two dozen dead among the protestors. Seeing the potential for this to be replicated among other critical resources, several other protests and riots broke out across the Collective. This conflict would spiral out of control more than a decade and a half. During this time, the Collective was rocked by periods of high and low intensity conflict, before the Families would win out. With their control guarantied, they would form the initial Noble Families of the newly christened Empire of Tensa. At this time, though, the family that had lead the majority of the fighting and had the strongest army took control, and was, grudgingly, accepted as the ruling family.
