In 2042 the Archimage Hemexi II, of the Urrimiao Magocracy is forced out of Urris by Naflar; who had seized all power over Urris. Hemexi II, fled to Miaotir followed by no more than five hundreds, mostly soldiers or mages.

Hemexi II, finally settled in 2049, founding the city of Miaolti.
Urrimiao Magocracy in Miaotir (2049-2210)
In the following two centuries the situation was mostly stable, only punctuated by skirmishes with the Mirmiao. The following Archimages maintained their alliances with the Lerimiao and Faomiao. And helped in creating permanent settlements along the rivers. In 2130 the Archimage Pofne tried to retake Urris with the help of the other two Miao archimages in exile, without success. However, the casualties were extremely high, after the war the population of the Magocracy was halved.
Early Elesmiao Magocracy (2210-2983)
The Archimage converted to Elessenism in 2210, he permitted the creation of the Eles Theocracy in the Faomiao territiories. Thus the name was changed to the Elesmiao Magocracy
The Zihòmac magocracy expanded northwards between 2300 and 2500, it never went at war with the Elesmiao. However it expulsed the Macrom and Lerimiao Tribes from their territories, pushing them north and west. They collided with the Mirmiao and the Elesmiao Magocracy. The Mirmiao and Macrom, tried to push inside the Elesmiao border but were harshly repressed. To better resist against the Mirmiao, part of the Lerimiao formed the Vimbi Kingdom on the Mibfoc in 2473.
The war with the Mirmiao continued for centuries, between 2500 and 2600 the Archimages pushed north, however they weren't able to keep their territories, the Lerimiao that occupied part of those territories founded the Ixinde, Rillen and Vesmbi Kingodoms. In 2623 the Archimage also had to give more independence to the Ponpi and Vonzie principalites.
In 2710, the Robimecim arrived from the Siemetv (pushed away by the Amieve Empire). They occupied territories of Miao tribes in the west. In response to the invasion, the Archimage helped founding the Mahdren and Pundea Kingdoms by Lerimiao and Inziao tribes.
In 2812 a campaign against the free Macrom tribes living enclaved inside the magocracy was started, the territories were all conquered in 10 years, the Macrom were enslaved and the territories settled by Miao.
Golden Age (2983-3450)
In 2983, the Archimage annexed back the Ponpi and Vonzie Principalities. In the following decade it expanded its territories along the lower Mibfoc, and north. With the help of the Xao Empire the Mirmiao were forced out of their west and south territories. In 2993 the Archimage gave control of the recently conquered south-western Mirmiao territories, to Persham Atliv, creating the Atlivi principality. Persham persecuted the Mirmiao in his principality even more than they were in the Magocracy.
Between 3005 and 3053 the magocracy expanded northwards, fighting with the Lazzam Empire, the Kiao Oligarchy and the Errac Tribes.
In 3127, Elesmiao allied with the Intez Magocracy against the Lazzam Empire. However Miltu and its territories were taken by the Empire with part of Elesmiao northern territories.
In 3221, following the civil war in the Lazzam Empire, the Elesmiao magocracy took back Teppem and Miltu. In 2253 the Archimage started a campaign against the Kingdom of Lunzia, and also conquered the neighbouring Tulc territories and Kiaovim from the Smu Duchy.
In 3230 the archimage conquered Birbor from the Fao Kingdom. The Archimage of Kallami, whose territories were conquered by the Micium Urris Magocracy, sought help in the Elesmiao Magocracy. The two archimages conquered the coastal oligarchies and established the Aoner Magocracy, with Listia as its capital in 3260. In 3260 Elesmiao ceded Birbor and the surrounding territories to Aoner. Then it helped Aoner conquer the Vlevle Theocracy in 3271.
In 3344 a series of reforms annexed the Atlivi Principality, Mahdren Kingdom and Simmiao Kingdom while also tightening the power of the Archimage over all territories. The capital was moved from Miaolti to Mibfiao. The Magocracy arrived at its maximal expansion and a century of peace followed.
In 3437, the Xao Empire separated in the Lixao and Lompuxiao Empires. Elesmiao allied with Lompuxiao in the following war between the two, it ended in 3444, with the Elesmiao annexing the the cities Bliddao and Tibecia .
Fall (3450-3526)
In 3471 the Second Lazzam Empire conquered back Vlizia, Inzia and Kiaovim. The Elesmiao responded in 3491 but was only able to retake Kiaovim.
