Less important historical events are also documented in the Annals of Mithra.

Unification of Varandoy and Aestyria
On October 13th, 2021, Varandoy and Aestyria united into the Kingdom of Varandoy-Aestyria as semi-independent states with their own Kings.

On November 6th, 2021, both the kingdoms of Varandoy and Aestyria fully united under one monarchy after the passing of King Unburnt I Blackfyre. King Jayhawk I Blackfyre, now King of all Varandoy-Aestyria, set about reforming the nation heavily after a rebellion attempt by disgruntled Ravgaardians over the lack of organization in the Aestyrian state, earning him the undying loyalty of the Ravgaardians.

Joining the Zamotz Union
On November 11th, 2021, the newly reunified Kingdom of Varandoy-Aestyria joined the Zamotz Union as a member, becoming the largest member of the Union on Rathnir.

Treaty of the Silver Crownlands
Signed on November 14th, 2021, the Treaty of the Silver Crownlands was a treaty between the King and Queen of Alamayn and the King of Varandoy-Aestyria which united both nations into the Kingdom of Mithra. The important conditions to this union included:


 * 1) The merging of name, flag, and military into one united state.
 * 2) The merging of peoples into one united citizenry.
 * 3) Neither nation would be able to interfere with the other's local politics or systems of governing, unless it was a threat to the union.

Reign of King Jaehaerys I Blackfyre (aka Jayhawk for Kastollians)
The reign of King Jayhawk has so far been defined by struggles, negotiations but also triumphs and expansion. Jayhawk worked on intergrating the nation of Alamayn into Mithra, which proved to be a stressing task, but he persevered, and managed to intergrate them into the kingdom. He also ran negotations with the Zamotz Union and gained their protection. Jayhawk was a scheming and plotting king, with massive spy networks spread across the world. He managed to give rights to Alamayn, such as the former nation having their own monarchs, they were removed from their roles after conflicts during the High Council meetings. This was the first spark of the Alamani rebellions.

Reign of Murad I
Abdicated the throne after two days of reign. This marked the end of House Blackfyre as a royal family.

Interregnum
After the abdication of Murad, Mithra ended in a period of interregnum with a total of three kings and one pretender till the The Mithran-Dandelion War. The pretender was the rightful heir of Unburnt Blackfyre, Maekar Blackfyre, which tried to claim the throne but was refused by Jayhawk's establishment for being too much like his father. This period was filled with rebellions and wars and also marked the end of Mithra. These were:

King Dusk of House Synderys
Dusk is one of the founders of Daelyria, the nation that preceded Mithra. He was chosen by the High Council to be king. He managed to reign for a few days till he abdicated the throne with many rebellion plots to overthrow him. One of which was Ianak, which was chosen as the successor of Dusk.

Reign of Ianak
Ianak didn't belong to any prominent houses and was given the throne by Dusk after rallying against the new king in one of the many rising rebellions against Dusk. During his first and only day of reign, Ianak attempted to partition Mithran lands between Bardonia and Kyydrosil, this was vetoed by the High Council that removed the king of his position.

King Miksa of House Silverhand
Miksa, also a old member of Daelyria, the founder of Islerion, he was chosen by the High Council to be king, and made a good job till the The Mithran-Dandelion War, where Mithra was dissolved and integrated into Kyydrosil, forming the Helmian Federation (Helmia).
