The beginning of Afanyu's civilization is usually dated at 1650 SR, when the first king Rufu Aoa became ruler of the whole region and united city-states under a single rule. By this time Afanyu had advanced agriculture, division of labor, and even a class of politicians. | The beginning of Afanyu's civilization is usually dated at 1650 SR, when the first king Rufu Aoa became ruler of the whole region and united city-states under a single rule.

- | However, a decade later Rufu Aoa's rule made a pivotal turn to favoritism, when a [[Murdoh]] (a governor) of a relatively unimportant city of Zo, pleased the king, and when offered a reward, requested independence. Due to the city being very small and economically dependent on the rest of the country, Rufu agreed to the demand, provided the new kingdom of Zo considers Afanyu its metropolitan state, effectively making the kingdom of Zo Afanyu's colony. | + | However, a decade later Rufu Aoa's rule made a pivotal turn to favoritism, when a [[Murdoh]] (a governor) of a relatively unimportant city of Zo pleased the king, and when offered a reward, requested independence.

Possibly seen as a one-off gesture that stresses the kindness and generosity of the king of the land, the move proved to be disastrous, as within the next several years two more cities lodged requests for independence. Rufu sent an army to one of the cities in order to ensure order and to quell the emerging trend for separatism before it spreads too far. But the gravity of the situation changed when the second largest city of Afanyu, Ari, governed by [[Mardis]], announced its request for independence. This effectively threw the kingdom into a civil war that would last for over two centuries. | Possibly seen as a one-off gesture that stresses the kindness and generosity of the king of the land, the move proved to be disastrous, as within the next several years two more cities lodged requests for independence.
