The Diarchies gave way to a council of Princes who ruled a great republic under a treaty called the Pax Vyruma.
In this 2nd Epoch rose the Cavaliers, keepers of peace and justice for their lords. The Cavaliers had tamed and trained the horse and rode them into battle for honor and glory.
It was during the 2nd Epoch that the Vyrum first began to capture the wild humans who then lived like beasts. They washed them and educated them -- teaching them their ways, giving them the gifts of art and architecture, music and poetry. It was the Vyrum who first called them Meni. These humans gained great advantage over their uncivilized kin. They became loyal servants and the tutors of their children. Many rose to great prominence among the Vyrum.
Under the previous races, Erenth had struggled for many centuries. Minor wars were waged as each people strove with the other, but Vyrum civilization brought peace, growth and prosperity. Eventually great works of art and music and architecture were made. The vast metropolises, called Alds, were raised. In time, each of the Alds would become a showplace of luxury and learning.
