The Lein Dynasty had such an effect upon the Tranon that even after its fall the peoples continued to refer to themselves as 'The People of the Lein' (Itrani: Trate ne-i-Lein). Whether it was in terms of science, culture or war, the Lein Dynasty's rule was one of great advances.

Built by means of war, the dynasty was renowned throughout the world for its military prowess. The army was from the outset reformed to become a formidable force, feared by enemies and trusted by its leaders. Under successive emperors, most prominently [[Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein|Emperor Sora]], the borders of the 'Tranon Lands' expanded immensely, pushing northeast and northwest, and even setting up a series of kingdoms on distant continents using a huge and advanced navy. For the first time in the history of the Tranon the great tribal confederations of the [[Sumatar]] and the [[Tamu'deni]], warlike nomadic horsemen of the northeastern steppes, paid tribute and acknowledged the overlordship of a Tranon dynasty, when in the 35rd year of Sora's reign several hundred tribal leaders headed to the capital of Meiron to hail the emperor as the 'Kakanye Sa``duva', or Supreme Chief.

History

Beginnings

The ruling house of the dynasty traces its history back to the Murna Dynasty, when Lein Tegar berInsan was appointed to be the hereditary prefect of a county-sized fief near Lake Ernugs, one of the sources of the Atgama River. By the late Hara Dynasty, which succeeded the Muma, the Lein had become one of the most powerful nobles within the realm. In 156 Hara, Lein Durun berHikas, the Great Progenitor of the Dynasty, led a revolt against the Hara over disputes regarding tribute, and after a 9 year war succeeded in supplanting the Hara and establishing his own regime.

Government

Main page: Government of the Lein Dynasty

The Lein Dynasty was the first dynasty, ruling over the Tarakasane, to fully reform and centralise its government. This move towards centralisation began from the very founding of the dynasty; Lein Durun's successful revolt had convinced him of the dangers in giving power and fiefs. While the feudal system of bestowments continued throughout the dynasty, it was conceived of more as an honours system than one giving actual power (though there were some important exceptions).
