Varanus Dynasty

The Varanus clan are the current ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Long. When the era of Filial Devotion was inaugurated, the Varanus had ruled a united Long for c. 150 years.

King Priyama is the seventh monarch of the Varanus dynasty.

Varanus Dynasty Period

The Varanus period succeeded the Warring Dukes period.

Whereas the Basiliscus Dynasty is Long's Classical Period and the Naja Dynasty is the Long Golden Age, the Varanus Dynasty is synonymous with the modern period in the history of the two kingdoms..

Military Conflict

After a initial period of peace and unity, the Varanus period has been marked by frequent bouts of military conflict. These include conflicts with the rogue Dukes of Eft who ceased to recognize the Varanus kings' authority and war with Hu.

By the official commencement of the Varanus dynasty period Hu had risen to become a power which could rival Long. More recently, Hu's position has been strengthened by the technological advancements (e.g. military innovations).

The times of peace in between military campaigns are sometimes seen as periods of suspended war prior to the next irruption of armed conflict. Sometimes these periods were defined by a ceasefire rather than a true peace treaty. The Treaty of Natri x in FD 5 was the first true peace signed in over twenty years.
