The Transition from the old to the new was made with relative haste. All borders of the Alliance nations were erased and new provinces drawn with no regard of long-standing state lines. Many populations were relocated, or mixed indiscriminately, to break down traditions.

	Many nations resisted the new borders, and resistance was put down violently where Fate's forces administered directly. Where the Foundation was still charged with administration, matters were dealt with a diplomacy uncharacteristic of the Gudersnipe Foundation.

This construct was chosen as the few surviving records usually keep time by referring to the number of years that had passed since the battle.
